Lower Columbia College is one of just 16 community colleges nationwide recognized as a Leader College by the Achieving the Dream organization. Leader College is a national designation awarded to select community colleges that commit to improving student success and also present clear evidence their efforts have resulted in improved student performance.

Achieving the Dream, Inc., a national nonprofit funded in part by the Gates and Lumina Foundations, is dedicated to helping more community college students stay in school and earn a college certificate or degree. LCC was selected through a competitive process in 2011 to participate in the program which includes just 208 of the 1,200 U.S. community and technical colleges.
