President's Message

When you receive your first two years of higher education at Iowa Lakes, you'll be prepared to succeed anywhere.

Our students say it the best: "My biggest advice to future college students is if you are looking for a college, check out Iowa Lakes Community College because it has a lot to offer with a wide variety of programs, degrees, certificates, diplomas and continuing education."

I agree with Nate Hovinga.

As a former student, my first two years at Iowa Lakes helped prepare me to eventually become the President of the college.

You'll find excellent opportunities with us. You'll have leadership development choices along with extracurricular activities which allow you to participate in everything from music to club activities and sports to student government.

At Iowa Lakes we have highly qualified and caring faculty along with wonderful and dedicated staff. You can also find the support services you need to succeed.
 
When you select Iowa Lakes, you'll be positioned for the global economy of tomorrow.

Start by applying online.

I look forward to meeting you in person at one of our five campuses in Algona, Emmetsburg, Estherville, Spencer or Spirit Lake!

Valerie Newhouse, President
