CLC Named as a Top 200 Community College for $1M 2027 Aspen Prize

The Aspen Institute has recognized the College of Lake County (CLC) as one of 200 institutions eligible to compete for the $1 million Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, the country’s top recognition for outstanding achievement and performance among two-year colleges. Selection was based on student outcomes data such as retention, completion, transfer rates, and bachelor’s degree attainment. Launched in 2010, this is the ninth cycle of the Aspen Prize.

Congratulations to CLC! We are grateful to support CLC’s important work via our ongoing marketing communications services for the Lake County Workforce Development Board, both of whom are part of the Lake County Workforce Ecosystem.
