A gift for President Black
We are gathering stories and letters of thanks from our Lakeland community for President David Black’s (final) retirement! A memory book will be created for him so he can read how much we appreciate everything he has done for Lakeland. Click here to leave a note to be included in Dr. Black’s memory book. You can also make a gift in honor of Dr. Black. All gifts given in recognition of Dr. Black’s retirement will support student scholarships.
Become a “Lakeland Champion”
Each year, hundreds of generous donors write out their checks, put a stamp on the envelope, and mail in their donation. Or, they have a reminder in their calendars to give online. Now, giving to Lakeland is more convenient!
We’ve launched a new giving program, the Lakeland Champion Club, which makes giving to Lakeland easy. You can make automatic donations weekly, monthly, or yearly, depending on your wishes. There’s no need for reminders or stamps. You choose when and what you want to donate, and we’ll handle it from there!

A Co-Op Story
Student Steve Lozano and his father, Craig Lozano
Parents play an important role in the lives of college students. They mentor, guide and support every step of the way. They also help their child explore the world and encourage them to develop their passions.

[Un]Common Ground Campaign Results
The word “success” does not begin to describe the remarkable results of the UnCommon Ground campaign…and it was all because of you!
