Lake Community College is an accredited, multi-campus college
serving the diverse needs of the Salt Lake City community. With
an open-door enrollment policy, the College serves more than 60,000
students through credit and non-credit courses and workshops each
year, making it the largest institution of higher education in
Utah. To accommodate student needs, SLCC has three full-service
campuses: South City, Redwood, Jordan; eleven teaching centers
located throughout the Salt Lake Valley and an eCampus for distance
learning. Courses are offered in both traditional and accelerated
semesters, during the day, at night and on weekends. Even in the
face of dramatically increasing student enrollments, the College
has preserved its personal feel by maintaining a student to faculty
ratio of just 20 to 1. The Six Pillars of a Community College
At Salt Lake Community College, we know that the well-being of
any community depends on the success of those who live, work and
learn within it. For nearly 60 years, we strived to enrich communities
across the Wasatch Front by providing a broad range of market-driven,
educational opportunities. From general education, transfer programs,
and career and technical education, to on-the-job training, re-training,
and apprenticeships, continuing education, entrepreneurial support,
and much more were building tomorrows workforce and strengthening
Utah's economy every day. But our long-term success hasn't happened
by chance. Its built on a proven structure that integrates six
important educational components what we'd like to call The Six
Pillars of a Community College: Developmental Education Career
and Technical Education General Education and Transfer Programs
Adult and Continuing Education Community Services Education Student
Services Individually, each of these pillars play a critical role
in educating students. Working together, they provide an educational
powerhouse for continued economic growth that helps ensure the
success of our students and community. Community Partnerships
Under the direction of President Cynthia A. Bioteau, Salt Lake
Community College continues to expand its role as the community's
college. The College's more than 500 business and school district
partnerships contribute both to the growth of Salt Lake Community
College and provide the highly-skilled workforce necessary to
strengthen Utah's economy. The results of these partnerships can
be seen throughout the college. A few examples: The Larry H. Miller
Entrepreneurship Training Center, located on the Miller Campus,
was completed in fall 2001 through a partnership with Larry H.
Miller. Other business partnership programs housed at the Miller
Campus include: Utah's only ACT Center; an extensive Automotive
Training Center; the only CAD Applications Training Center in
the Intermountain west; and the College's small business incubator
project. The Science and Industry Building on Redwood Campus was
built through a partnership with Union Pacific Railroad. The Living
Planet Aquarium, in partnership with Salt Lake Community College,
operates and funds the Marine and Fresh Water Science Institute
at SLCC's Redwood Campus. In addition, The Living Planet Aquarist
will provide for tours for thousands of elementary public school
students each year to assist in meeting core educational requirements
related to marine and fresh water life. SLCC will also house the
Living Planets new Utah Waters Van, a new program that will educate
4th grade students on-site at elementary schools about the water
