Starting this fall, students
will receive a “Welcome to LBCC” information packet in the mail, designed to welcome them and let them know they are officially “in college.” Within a few days of submitting their college application, students will get a personalized welcome letter that includes the next steps they need to take. They also get a cool LBCC Roadrunner window decal, coupons to the bookstore and campus eateries, and information on clubs and student life to help them immediately start building connections.
College Advancement has installed more than 60 new "Inspired" banners throughout the parking lots on the Albany campus, and will soon add banners to the centers and the ATTC. The new banners highlight our values, programs, instructors, students, and graduates - providing inspiration every time we pull into campus. A special thank you goes to the Facilities Department for removing the old brackets from the poles, installing new ones, and hanging all the banners before Welcome Day.
The Library and the Student Help Desk have added new evening and weekend hours to better accommodate students. New hours: Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-9 p.m., Friday, 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and Sunday, 1 p.m.-6 p.m. In addition, the Forum Computer Lab has been moved to the Library, which allows for increased computer and technical support for students.
The college has implemented a new pay-to-print system. Called “GoPrint,” the new system tracks printer usage based on the student's account. The move is part of a campus-wide effort to reduce paper waste and ultimately save money by reducing paper and toner costs and equipment maintenance while promoting a more sustainable green printing environment. Students manage and add funds to their
GoPrint account on-line. The price is .10 cents per sheet for black and white, and .20 cents per sheet for color. The software determines the cost of a print job and makes that known to the student prior to printing. The student can then accept and print the job or cancel it.

Javier Cervantes, director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at LBCC, has completed the
National Community College Hispanic Council Leadership Fellows Program. Established more than 20 years ago through the University of San Diego, the 10-day NCCHC Fellows Program provides training, preparation and support of Hispanic leaders in America's community colleges. As LBCC works to become a "College of Choice" for Latinos, Javier's Fellows designation will provide access to a network of people that the college can call upon for best practices, providing access to people who have been tackling this work and getting results.
