Welcome to Fall Term! I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN CLASS

Dear Community Members,

At Linn-Benton Community College, the future looks promising. We are open for business, and have been open all along – throughout the entire pandemic. In fact, our mission has never been more important!

The fact is, education changes lives by helping people acquire the skills and knowledge that they need to get good jobs, support themselves and their families, and connect to their personal passions and goals. Now that fall is here, we are helping to make the choice of education as accessible as possible: the time is finally right for us to safely begin to offer in-person classes as well as remote options. Our staff have worked incredibly hard to develop an innovative and compassionate “Rebounding Plan” to open our campus locations with your health and safety at the fore- front (read about it on our website, www.linnbenton.edu). We are so delighted to welcome you back to our classrooms!

You are sure to find some opportunity gems in the following Extend- ed Learning Schedule. From popular classes like Better Bones and Balance in Albany, Corvallis and Lebanon; to art classes at Riverside Community Center and Meadowpark; to Spanish classes at the Benton Center; to face-to-face advising through our Small Business Development Center, LBCC is in every corner of our community – and here to help you connect to other people who share your love of learning.

While you are browsing these pages, I hope you will also take a mo- ment to read some of our stories, and celebrate the resilient spirit we’ve seen in our students throughout this entire difficult time in history. I can honestly say that nothing is more inspiring to me than people who find a way to choose education, despite the odds. I hope you make that choice as well. LBCC is here for you every step of the way.

Best wishes for a wonderful fall term.

Sincerely,

Thanks to the generosity of donor Bill Siebler and the talent of renowned artist Rip Cronk, LBCC has a new mural on the south wall of Takena Hall. ‘Starry Night’ is done in the style of Van Gogh and it depicts Mary’s Peak — the highest point in both Linn and Benton counties. The mural serves as a constant reminder of how LBCC helps students reach their highest potential every day. We welcome you to come and see it for yourself!
