Lindenwood University and St. Louis Community College have signed an agreement as part of a cooperative partnership to support the higher education of students in the greater St. Louis area. The event was held at STLCC-Forest Park in the Center for Nursing and Health Sciences.

Students from St. Louis Community College who complete an associate degree are eligible for transfer pathways and scholarships through Lindenwood’s Bridge Scholarship program.

“This partnership with St. Louis Community College is impactful for the future of our university and broadens the reach of our student body”, said Dr. John Porter, president of Lindenwood University. “This will open doors for excellent students in our community and enrich both campuses in many ways.”

Joining Porter at the ceremony was Chancellor of St. Louis Community College, Jeff L. Pittman, Ph.D. “At STLCC, we’re invested in our students’ success, and we’re committed to expanding opportunities for our students to achieve their college and career goals,” Pittman said. “We know that many of our students transfer to Lindenwood University, so we’re excited to create an additional pathway to support them as they pursue a four-year degree.”

In addition to Pittman, several members of the STLCC administration attended the event including Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Dr. Andrew Langrehr, President and Chief Academics Officer Dr. Julie Fickas, and Director of Curriculum and Assessment Ms. Jill Vaughan. Representing Lindenwood University were Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Bethany Alden-Rivers and Senior Vice President of Enrollment Management and Lindenwood Global Dr. Joe Sallustio.
