Opening Day Marks Lord Fairfax Community College Start
Lord Fairfax Community College opened for the Fall Quarter with 780 students and 37 full-time faculty, up from 577 students and 24 faculty last year. The enrollment draws from seven jurisdictions led by Frederick Shenandoah and Warren counties and Winchester. Dr. William McCoy says anyone 18 or older not in secondary school can enroll as a full-fledged student, and the college offers over $150,000 in federal funds for study-work financing. Courses aim for university transfer after two years or an associate degree across vocations, with Middletown as the visit point for interested residents.
