“It was a very enjoyable experience getting to work with professors that cared for me and my education. I wasn’t just another number at LC State. With the one-on-one attention in the classroom and the hard work put forth by the professors to make sure I succeeded, I could not have chosen a better division and institution to learn from.” - Peter Irvin ‘17
