Dr. Luis Lucio, dean LSC-East Aldine Center, said, “I have waited a long time to be able to say it, but I can now say ‘Lone Star College-East Aldine Center is open for registration for students for the fall semester!’” Lucio continued, “I am proud of the work we, along with our partners, have done to reach this point. Lone Star College-East Aldine Center will bring affordable education opportunities and the expertise of LSC faculty and staff to the East Aldine neighborhood.”
