In appreciation for the continued support by PNC Bank, Laredo College hosted a reception at the Pvt. David B. Barkley Cantú Veterans Memorial Chapel on Wednesday. The event saw key support partners come together to celebrate both PNC and LC’s efforts of ensuring that the college is a cornerstone resource for the community. 
“We are committed to actively contributing to the well-being and advancement of Laredo. When our community is strong, PNC is strong, and we recognize the importance of Laredo College in driving economic prosperity and growth within the region,” PNC Bank Regional President and Head of Commercial Banking for the Texas Border Market Susana Melendez – Valencia said.
Their moral and philanthropic support has helped ensure a better experience for LC students and has opened doors for anyone interested in higher education. For over a year, PNC Bank has generously contributed toward a number of projects that elevated Laredo College as an institution and helped push the college’s mission forward.
“The continuous support from PNC Bank and Susana Melendez-Valencia over the years has been paramount to our institution. Their dedication and financial commitment to our community of learners is evident in everything they do. As our longtime partners, they have been instrumental in the creation and the preservation of many vital college initiatives and projects, which have a direct impact in our regional workforce,” Laredo College President Dr. Minita Ramírez said. “Together, we hope to continue creating more opportunities for students and improving the quality of life of the people in our community.”
