Faculty Excellence Award is given to one LCC faculty member for his/her exceptional teaching every semester. It is a certificate and a plate that every award receiver is getting at the Staff & Faculty event, but since Fall 2012 we were able to offer 500 US$ grant for purchase of books to support their teaching. The book Grant was established by Quello family from Canada for five consequential years.
