DR. LISA AVERY,
LBCC PRESIDENT
Dear Colleagues,
This month I am excited to begin sharing a new video series called "Real Futures with Dr. Lisa Avery." This is an opportunity for me to share my conversations with people throughout our community who have attended LBCC, and inspire you with the very real examples of local success available to all people, through the power of education.
My first conversation is with Jacob Johnson, who graduated from LB in 2017 with a degree in Animal Science. Jacob specifically came to the Mid-Valley because of the ag program at LBCC, and is now the Agriculture Shop teacher at Lebanon High School!. Watch our video conversation here!
