There is just something about Lakes Region Community College.

I am so very proud to be leading LRCC as the interim President as it continues its journey to becoming the beacon of the lakes region’s economic, workforce, and personal development needs.   

LRCC is centrally located in the beautiful lakes and mountains of New Hampshire and is a mission-driven, student-focused college, offering a variety of learning opportunities. 

At the heart of who we are and what we do is community – students, faculty, staff, and administration all coming together to better ourselves and the cities and towns where we all live and work. Many institutions talked about the importance of community, but it is truly in the fabric of LRCC.

As a New Hampshire native and living in the region for 20+ years, I am so proud to help lead this vital community resource. In my 20+ years involved in New Hampshire higher education, across two- and four-year institutions, public and private,  LRCC uniquely delivers high-quality in-demand educational offerings. 

The opportunities that come with a credential from LRCC can change a person’s life and, in turn, improve the vibrancy of our communities. 

The lakes region of New Hampshire is a place that people come to visit for its natural resources and active environment. LRCC is a vital part of that spirit and I welcome all to be a part of this college. You will see, that there is just something about LRCC that makes us a great place to learn, work, and grow.

Cordially,
Patrick Cate, Interim President
