The Las Positas College Foundation
was founded in January, 2003 by a dedicated group of
Tri-Valley community
leaders. The specific goals of the LPC Foundation are two-fold: 1) To
inform and educate the communities served about the special treasure that
they have in the college and 2) to give the residents of the Tri-Valley
an opportunity to invest in the future of THEIR asset:
Las Positas College
In March 2004, the citizens of the Chabot-Las Positas
College District approved funding to build out the physical facilities
at LPC. Nearly
$220 million in construction projects – planned over the next ten years – will
make it possible to eventually accommodate more than 16,000 students. This
is almost twice the size of the current student population.
As the Measure 'B' Bond Program transforms voter financial support into the reality of impressive new buildings on our campus, it is also important to invest in the heart and spirit of those facilities. Bond money is almost exclusively dedicated to “bricks and mortar.”
Beautiful new buildings alone, while necessary, are only part of the educational equation. From drama, dance and forensics to student scholarships and staff professional development, myriad aspects of a full, meaningful and attainable college experience have, in this era of diminished public support, come to be considered almost "extras."
Investments in the Las Positas College Foundation ensure
that our Tri-Valley region will
continue to be enriched and served by LPC – an institution of high
standards and
dedication to student success.
