Labette Community College has forged a solid foundation in Parsons. Watkins says, “Generations of support believe LCC serves a valuable purpose for Southeast Kansas and beyond, including to provide students with opportunities through higher education, to develop their job skills and develop their critical and creative thinking skills, as well as to provide skilled labor to our business and industry supporters.”

Many of those who work hard to represent this institution are thrilled to be part of it and Reese assures, “I am proud to be a part of Labette Community College because of the opportunities it provides for the students in our communities we serve here in Southeast Kansas and the Four States.

“LCC is a great steppingstone to help those seeking further education or to be career ready. The integrity and quality education of this institution makes me proud to share the success stories of our students.”

Watkins says, “I am fortunate to be a part of this wonderful community college, to be living and productive in Southeast Kansas, and to give back to a society that has done so much in support of me.”
