2025 Young Distinguished Alumni Award Winner

Arilda Lleshi (Class of 2018) received the Young Distinguished Alumni Award. A graduate of LCC’s first International Relations and Development class, Arilda is an activist for democracy and justice in Albania. In her speech, she shared: “People will tell you ‘be successful’. That’s the mantra of our age. I hope you are successful, but don’t be successful only. Think of what’s just and good and free — and fight for that too.” Her bold action, perseverance, and commitment to truth reflect the values at the core of LCC’s education.
