Professional Development 2016
The Many Faces of LVCC
Photos from Professional Development 2016

On August 11th and 12th, the staff of LVCC assembled on the beautiful campus of DeSales University for our annual Professional Development Days. We experienced hands-on training, learned from an inspirational keynote speaker, and celebrated over 170 dedicated employees with awards and raffle prizes.

Support from the TD Charitable Foundation, DeSales University, and the Fowler Education Fund made our Professional Development Days possible. Our appreciation goes out to the many trainers who offered their services at a reduced cost, as well as our friends at Lakeshore Learning Materials, Mutual of Omaha, School Specialty, and DeSales University for providing information tables. View our photo gallery of the event.
