This function is fostered in a climate that focuses upon intellectual rigor, caring, and respect for the diverse cultures of the College community. South Louisiana Community College was created by act of the Louisiana Legislature in 1997 as a 'comprehensive, multi-campus, public, two-year institution of higher education.' The legislation prescribes for the College both an academic and a vocational component and stipulates that programs offered by the College be developed 'to assure the delivery of coordinated and articulated edcuational services in each parish comprising the primary service delivery area.'
