From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laramie County Community College is a community college in Laramie County, Wyoming. Its main campus is in Cheyenne, and there are three additional campuses: the Albany County Campus in Laramie, the Eastern Laramie County Campus in Pine Bluffs, and the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base Campus. LCCC opened in 1969.

One of the founding faculty members of LCCC was former Republican State Representative Robert Schliske (1924-2007), who served in the state House from 1971-1975. Schliske began at LCCC as dean of vocational-technical education and thereafter as dean of instruction.

Among scholarships offered at LCCC are two named in honor of Robert and Rosalind Schliske and J. Arling and Edvina Wiederspahn. The Schliske award is for study in mass media. Arling Wiederspahn was a longtime trustee of LCCC, mortician, and a former Laramie County coroner.
