The Multicultural club has set up boxes near the student Life lounge to collect donations for local children through the Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign. Please consider making a donation of a new unwrapped toy to benefit a child in Luzerne/ Lackawanna county. The drive will run through Tuesday, December 16th. Thank you.

As Luzerne County Community College continues its Celebrating Our Centers series throughout December, the College is highlighting a major milestone at its Wilkes-Barre Center: record-setting fall enrollment that surpassed 500 students for the first time in the Center's 25-year history.

This fall, 524 students enrolled in in-person classes at the downtown Wilkes-Barre location - a historic high for the Center and a reflection of strong, sustained growth in the city. The Center saw a 17% increase in headcount and a 21% increase in credits compared to last fall, said Adam Blannard, director of the LCCC Wilkes-Barre Center.

"Knowing the Wilkes-Barre Center has been here since 1999 and this is the first time we've crossed the 500-student mark is incredibly meaningful, Blannard said. "It shows that the hard work of our faculty and staff is translating into students not only returning, but also encouraging new students to join us."

A Downtown Hub for Access and Opportunity

Located at 2 Public Square, the Wilkes-Barre Center has become an anchor for higher education and workforce training in the heart of the city. In partnership with the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry, the Center serves a wide range of students --from recent high school graduates to adult learners balancing work and family responsibilities.

The Center features:

Three networked computer labs

Smart classrooms with advanced presentation technology

Seminar rooms and traditional classrooms

Video-conferencing and roll-about teaching units

Flexible 13-week class schedules

A mix of in-person and online course options

Degree pathways include Criminal Justice, Human Services, Legal Assisting (Paralegal), Social Work, and General Studies, along with dual enrollment opportunities for high school students and visiting students from four-year institutions.

The Center is also home to the long-running Adult Learners' Training and Assistance (ALTA) Program, which offers free GED preparation, English as a Second Language courses, Family Literacy programs, and Digital Literacy instruction.

A Culture Students Want to Be Part Of

Blannard said the fall numbers reflect more than just enrollment trends - they reflect a campus culture that students are choosing, recommending, and returning to.

"I think it's the culture we've built here," he said. "When students walk through the doors, they're welcomed by name. They feel supported, they feel seen, and they know we're here to help them succeed. That experience travels by word of mouth, and it brings new students through the door."

He added that the Center's downtown location plays a key role.

"A lot of our students live or work right here in the city. They want an affordable, high-quality education close to home - and they want to give back to the same community they're part of."

Student Stories: Support That Makes a Difference

Students say the Wilkes-Barre Center gives them real opportunities and a sense of belonging.

Kailash Velazques, a Wilkes-Barre resident and parent of a young child, says LCCC gave her a path forward.

"I didn't want to stop where I was - I wanted to work for my future," she said. "My cousin took classes here and told me about the opportunities, the financial help, and the support system. They've covered almost everything for me. I'm doing my associate degree now because I want to go to law school and eventually become a judge here in Wilkes-Barre."

Asia Rose, of Old Forge, said the level of support exceeded her expectations.

"I've definitely been able to ask for help - and it's not intimidating," she said. "There are so many resources, and the people genuinely care. I don't feel like just a number. My professors know my name."

Growing With the Community

Blannard said the Center's diversity is one of its greatest strengths.

"We have traditional students, adult learners, parents, people working multiple jobs - and we build schedules that work for all of them," he said. "We don't treat students as just another face. We look at their individual situation and help them create a path to finish on time."

With its highest enrollment ever, the Wilkes-Barre Center continues to grow as a vibrant destination for education, workforce development, and community impact.

There are just a few names left from the Holiday Head Start gift collection!

Consider "adopting" a child from the Head Start school on campus this holiday season. Choose a name and purchase some gifts for them - for many of them, these may be the only gifts they receive this holiday season.

Just come to the Social and Behavioral Sciences Department suite in building 3 and pick a child to purchase gifts for. Simply take the photocopy of the ornament in the file on the door, sign your name in the appropriate class and next to the child's name, and then return the gifts to the department no later than Monday, December 8 so that we can get them to Head Start in time.

The gifts should be wrapped when they are returned.

Thank you for your generosity in advance!

Please contact Martha Pezzino, Heather Jones, Lynn Grilli, Janis Seeley, Richelle Smith, or Rachael Talpash for more information.

There are still about a dozen Head Start children on campus available for "adoption" this Christmas, and we invite anyone and everyone on campus to participate and to help one of the Head Start kids.

Hello Trailblazers!!

Due to a rise in fraud, the LCCC Bookstore has altered its approach to in-store pickups.
In addition to having your order number ready to give to any present Bookstore staff member(Ex: 21270000026603), you must have ID on-hand to also present to a staff member.

If someone else is picking up your order on your behalf, you must email a staff member that you are giving permission to do so.

A message such as "I John Doe, give permission to Jane Doe to pick up my order of 21270000026603" will suffice. That is the only way someone else can pickup on order an your behalf.

The following emails are valid for sending any permissions or questions to:

vyaroshenko@luzerne.edu hconway@luzerne.edu ljenkin@luzerne.edu

Note: When using Financial Aid in-person at the Bookstore, please have your ID then as well.

Meter fees in the downtown Wilkes-Barre will be suspended for the holiday season. Suspension will begin Monday, November 25, 2024, at 8am through Monday, January 6, 2025. See article below.

https://www.timesleader.com/news/1674649/downtown-wilkes-barre-business-district-meter-fees-suspended-for-holidays

The bookstore will be closed today from 12:30pm-1:30pm.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
