Los Angeles Southwest College (LASC) is located in southwest Los Angeles, approximately 20 minutes south of downtown Los Angeles, 15 minutes east of the Pacific Ocean, and 10 minutes north of Los Angeles International Airport. Our areas of service include the cities of Los Angeles, Inglewood, Hawthorne, and Gardena. The smallest of nine colleges in the Los Angeles Community College District, LASC, home of the Cougars, is also the fiercest with a passion for social justice, community engagement, and supporting students to overcome all obstacles to achieve their personal and professional dreams. LASC continues to cultivate a culture of care, being intentional about diversity and student success. The College serves 100% students of color, predominantly African American and Latinx. Since its founding in 1967, LASC has been devoted to social justice, closing equity gaps, and being a leader within the community to create intentional social change. We pursue academic excellence in all levels and are devoted to empowering students to find their voices, their passions, and achieving the freedom to live the lives they want to live. We take pride in our high academic standards, our excellent programs and services, and our approach to meeting each unique student’s personal needs to find success at LASC. With our amazing new facilities and continued pursuit of innovation, we hope you will consider hosting your event on our beautiful campus!
