Support Your Students’ Midterm Success with the MDSC
Midterm season is a great time to remind students that the
Multidisciplinary Success Center (MDSC) is here to support their
academic success. The centers offer tutoring, study support, and
a welcoming environment where students can strengthen their
understanding and build confidence in their coursework. Encourage
your students to connect with us, whether in person at the LAC or
TTC Campus, or online, for the support they need to finish the
semester strong. For more information, visit www.lbcc.edu/mdsc
We Want to Hear From You!
LBCC is partnering with Confluence Rising (formerly known as CCEJ) to facilitate a dialogue about gender equity within the LBCC Campus Community. To gather as much feedback as possible, we are asking campus constituents (students, staff, faculty, and administrators) to complete a climate survey and/or participate in a listening session. Listening sessions are offered by campus role (student, staff, faculty, manager) as well as by identity-specific affiliations. Please sign up now:
