History
LCCC was founded on March 31, 1966[2] as Lehigh County Community College. It originally held classes in the former Lehigh County Courthouse.
In 1972, modern facilities were built, creating the foundation for the current campus of this academic institution. College administrators selected the school's current name in 1994 with the goal of increasing enrollment from nearby Carbon County.
This college maintains learning centers at three additional off-campus locations: the Donley Center in Allentown, the Carbon Center in Jim Thorpe, and the John Morgan Center in Tamaqua.
The college also operates a campus radio station, WXLV The X, which is streamed globally on iHeartRadio.[3]
