On Saturday November 7th, 2009, LaGCC held "The 2009 Student Leadership Conference." The conference's theme was "Celebrate Achievement: Journey to Success." The event was designed to help students deal with the stresses of school and life in general by providing workshops with resources that will help students cope with situations that might arise while going to school. One of the workshops provided was titled "Smart Phones, Smart People." Presenter Albert Neal, an LaGCC Media professor, discussed the many mobile research applications for use with smart phones.
