LeCroy Scholars Program

The LeCroy Scholars Program was created in 1988 by DCCCD Foundation Board Member Mike A. Myers to recognize Dr. R. Jan LeCroy, Chancellor of the DCCCD from 1981 to 1988, for his exemplary leadership in education and in the community. Outstanding leadership and scholarship are two of the hallmarks of Dr. LeCroy's tenure and are the main requirements of the LeCroy Scholars Program. Jan LeCroy and Mike Myers will act as mentors to the LeCroy Scholars.
