Student Life

 Welcome to the Office of the Associate Dean of Students


 Welcome Palominos,

 

I am extremely pleased that you have decided to join our Palomino campus, either for the first time, or back to Laredo College for another fast-paced, exciting year! We have made major renovations and physical improvements to the Fort McIntosh campus over the past few years which were designed to enhance student life, especially with the re-opening of the Kazen Student Center.  The opportunities that this newly renovated building brings to our campus are endless. 

 

This is an exciting time in your educational journey and the Division of Student Service strives to make connections between our students’ curricular and co-curricular experience, whether this means attending an athletic event or joining Associated Student Organization (ASO) or another organization.  We in student affairs are here to guide you through your first year, to support you in your academics through an array of resources and to challenge you in order that you may attain your full academics and personal potential at Laredo College and beyond.  My division supervises and oversees programs and services such as TRIO Upward Bound and Student Support Services, student life, learning centers, libraries, LBV Environmental Science Center, disciplinary and grievance issues, and Title IX incidents.  Our dedicated and highly responsive staff is committed to meeting our students’ needs.

 

I am happy to have you on campus. Make a difference at Laredo College.  Get involved and find a way to make LC your home.  But most importantly, remember here at LC, there are many options and opportunities for your growth that await you.  I encourage you to share with me any ideas and suggestions that might assist our efforts to improve our services and provide you with the best education possible.
