New Marquee @ LRCC

Final touches were completed this week by Barlo Signs of Hudson. The new sign measures 15’ wide x 17’ high and features a full-color electronic message center. It was made possible, in part, by a generous gift from LRCC’s Class of 2008 and the Student Senate.

"College personnel are pleased to see the finalization of our most noteworthy advertising medium," says Fraser who has headed admissions at the Laconia College for 11 years. "The new name, LRCC, far more clearly portrays the comprehensiveness of the College and the region that we serve."

Coates was LRCC’s President’s Award of Excellence winner in Business Management for 2008. His cumulative grade point average at LRCC is an impressive 3.8 on a 4-point scale.

College admissions are up 4% for the Spring 2009 Semester as compared to Spring 2008. For the academic year 2008-2009, LRCC experienced an 11% increase over the 2007-2008 academic year.
