November 15, 2017 - Lone Star College to develop seventh campus

Two years of intensive community engagement, research, and planning began to address student success disparities within the Lone Star College system.

Lone Star College has announced plans to create a seventh campus that will cover the areas of the current LSC-Fairbanks Center, LSC-Greenspoint Center, LSC-Victory Center, as well as the planned LSC-East Aldine Center. Note: East Aldine was originally planned as the fourth site, but Fallbrook eventually became our fourth and newest location.

"Our primary focus is on student access, equity and ultimately student success," said Stephen C. Head, Ph.D., LSC chancellor. "If we don't specifically focus on that area then we're not going to make the kind of progress that our students and community deserve."
