Meet the Board Officers and Members
Angela Burge knows firsthand that life rarely follows a straight line, especially when it comes to education. Balancing work, family and financial realities while pursuing a new career shaped her perspective long before she stepped into leadership. When deciding to make that career change, Angela said she wasn’t looking for a leadership position and didn’t expect to work in academia.
LCCC Foundation Board member’s tireless efforts help students find themselves and succeed. When Donnie Heiduck was young, his mom sent him with a box of his old clothes to the single mother next door to their house on Southwest Drive in Cheyenne.
Tricia Courtney has watched Laramie County Community College change over decades, a reminder that opportunity doesn’t arrive on its own; it’s created when someone decides to take the first step.
When Tim Cowley enrolled at Laramie County Community College in the fall of 1974, the campus was still young and compact, and his plans were anything but settled. A Cheyenne native and graduate of Cheyenne East High School, Cowley arrived knowing only that he wanted a college education and that construction work was not the future he envisioned for himself.
