Luzerne County Community College proudly celebrates Board of Trustees member Cathy O'Donnell, who was honored this evening with the Community Service Award at the 2025 STARS of the Valley Awards. The event, held at the Westmoreland Club Grand Hall in Wilkes-Barre, recognized individuals who exemplify the values of Service, Transformation, Advancement, Resilience, and Support -- the very qualities that make someone a STAR in our region.*

Cathy O'Donnell was celebrated for her lifelong dedication to public service and education, as well as her continued commitment to strengthening communities across Luzerne County.

"Cathy O'Donnell has long been a tireless advocate for the people of Luzerne County and a champion for education, service, and opportunity," said LCCC President John Yudichak.
