“There are over 47,000 LCCC grads making a difference in their communities. I see their contributions every day and am humbled to be able to honor them,” Starck said.

Reflecting on the Hall of Fame’s launch, Ballinger added, “When we created this recognition, I was amazed by the inspiring stories of our alumni—some well-known and others newly discovered. These inductees are true examples of individuals who have reached far, stayed committed, and achieved their dreams. We proudly celebrate them as distinguished LCCC alumni.”
