“Building your network for future success”

“LCC is a place where you can begin to nurture your network - starting with just making food with other people. My network has been of great value in my career which has involved providing business strategy for a startup company, a project-based position at a youth NGO, managing parts of an international technology conference, and starting a company specializing in life design. I am grateful for the people I met and interpersonal skills I acquired at LCC that have made this career possible.”
