Impact and Engagement
Forum, Room 220
The philosophy of the Office of Impact and Engagement is to build on the assets individuals already possess. The framework employed within the department is "servant leadership:" being of service to others. We engage students, staff, faculty and managers—as well as constituent communities—in a manner that prepares them to be successful in an increasingly diverse society and workforce. Essential to our work is further developing the skills, abilities, and recognition capacity necessary to succeed in today’s world: focusing on cross-cultural fluency, or the ability to competently weave in and out of cultures. The department leads and facilitates a broad scope of the work occurring at LBCC and in a broader community context, always with equitable outcomes as the primary goal.
Demographic shifts and technology have shrunken the world, resulting in an increased demand for culturally fluent individuals in the workforce and on campus. Our work means that everyone has a stake in fostering a learning/work environment in which everyone is challenged to become better protagonists.
All students and campus community members are welcome to attend events, participate in activities, and explore resources we have to offer. Our Equity Center helps promote students, employees, and community members' well being by promoting programs and events that enhance academic and social growth through programs and collaboration within the local workforce. Our work—encapsulated by access and impact—creates pathways to success for all.
The space is available for student clubs and organizations to host meetings and events. Stop by to explore the space or ask for a tour. We look forward to hosting your next meeting or event!
