JONATHON WAGGONER - ALUM

After receiving an awesome scholarship from LT, I decided to attend. I was pleasantly surprised with the college academics, environment, & freedom it gave me. The classes were challenging enough to keep me busy, with engaging teachers that left me hungry for more.

LT offers a fulfilling atmosphere. Students encourage each other daily in their assignments & activities, becoming friends for life. The extracurricular activities enrich the college experience.

College sports are not lacking. LTC has men’s & women’s basketball, baseball & softball. Sporting events are a popular activity where the student body can come together to support the school & their friends. Intramural sports are offered as well.

Despite my initial doubts, LT proved to be an excellent environment for preparing me to attend a university. The knowledge, friends, & memories I have acquired at LT will remain with me for life. Do not pass up Lincoln Trail College until you have discovered all it can do for your life.

JAMIE ATEN - ALUM

I am extremely grateful for the opportunities and learning experiences LTC provided me as a student. I had the chance to develop relationships with faculty like Yvonne Newlin and others who helped encourage me and prepare me for transition to a four-year university and later for graduate studies. In fact, my experience and relationships I formed with faculty at LTC influenced my decision to pursue a career in higher education.

BILL SANDIFORD - ALUM

I chose LTC because of convenience. I was unsure of what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. At LTC, I learned to meet and deal with new people. It was an excellent networking opportunity, and I'm still in touch with several classmates and teachers.

ERIC DEAN - ALUM

I enjoyed my time at LTC. It was great for me to get a lot of my general classes out of the way and it is where I decided to pursue a degree in education. My degree is in social studies, and I took several classes with Ed Fitch and Rod Harmon. Those two instructors played a big role in my becoming a teacher. I have been a seventh grade teacher in Robinson for the past 11 years.

NIKKI BROTHERTON - ALUM

Attending LTC was such a positive experience for me and one in which I am truly grateful. It allowed me to take the classes I needed to transfer to a four-year university at a fraction of the cost, while still providing quality education. The small size of the school and the classes allowed for personal interaction by caring faculty and staff, while also allowing me to gain valuable social experience with peer counseling, tutoring, club participation, and the music program. My time as a student at LTC showed me the major benefits of community college, and as a current employee of Henderson Community College, that experience helps me better serve the students with whom I work.

SHELLEY STEPHENSON - ALUM

I chose LTC because after 20 years of jobs, I was ready for a career.

As a non-traditional student, I was a little hesitant, not knowing how I would be received. However, there were plenty of other students just like me – slightly older students who were getting a little later start on their college education. I found that the non-traditional students were treated just like the younger students and many times were asked for advice based on life experience.

Lincoln Trail College gave me the education, the skills, and the self-confidence I needed to begin my office career.
