From the City Club of Eugene:

In 1964 Lane County citizens voted overwhelmingly to establish Lane as a comprehensive community college (approving it 5,944 to 1,282. State-approved programs offer students preparation for employment in approximately 50 career areas: health careers such as paramedics, nursing and, flight technology, culinary arts and hotel and restaurant management, auto and diesel mechanics, manufacturing, business and computer careers, graphic design and multimedia careers, exercise science, as well as criminal justice and human relations careers

Two years ago Margaret Hamilton took over the reins of Lane Community College.  What are her goals and dreams for LCC?  What hurdles has she encountered and what clouds are on the horizon?  In her talk she answers these and many other questions.  More importantly, she informs us as to the value of LCC to the community.
