LG-TEK HCC Scholarship Recipient Testimonials
I would like to thank you all, for your generous donation. I wouldn’t have been able to start this RN Nursing Program without your support. I grew up in an under-privelaged home and money was hard to come by, so was having a great education. This scholarship is helping me be able to achieve my goals in so many ways. One way is my future, and being able to achieve my dreams and becoming a registered nurse. We need so many nurses out there. My plan after college is to become CRNA and be able to work with the most prestigious doctors out there and be able to gain that knowledge and hopefully one day be a doctor or a Nurse Practitioner.
Hi! I’m Danielle. I am a Dance major here at the College. I love to Dance! I am so thrilled to have received this scholarship. It will allow me to pursue my dream and passion of becoming a dancer. I would like to thank you for this scholarship and hope I will be able to contribute to this fund upon finishing to help other fellow students. Thank You!
I want to say a big thank you for helping me with my General Studies degree at HCC. Your donation means a lot to me, especially because I can’t afford to pay for my classes on my own. I work as a custodian, and it’s tough to make ends meet, but your support has made a real difference in my life.
I’m in the General Studies program to learn about different subjects and get a well-rounded education. College is super important nowadays, and without your help, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the rising costs of education. Your scholarship has allowed me to focus on my studies without stressing about money, and for that, I’m truly grateful.
Right now, I don’t have any internships because I work and go to school, but I’m not planning on being a custodian forever. After I finish my degree, I want to explore different career paths and find something that I’m passionate about.
Thanks again for making my education possible. Your generosity has opened doors for me, and I’m excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.

LG-TEK is committed to Environmental Sustainability practices and minimizing the footprint of our day-to-day operations. We are committed to finding new ways to operate in an increasingly environmentally conscious manner and further reduce our carbon footprint. Below are twelve practices we employ to increase our environmental sustainability.
1. LED Lighting Fixtures:
The LG-TEK Corporate Headquarters office utilizes LED Lighting Fixtures, which are the most efficient type of lighting on the market, using 75% less energy and lasting 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs.
2. Comprehensive Recycling Program:
The break room in the LG-TEK Corporate Headquarters has a recycling been available for use with paper, plastic, and metal recyclable waste.
3. Reduced Paper Usage
Through the use of online portals, forms, time record keeping/reporting, and other digital tools LG-TEK has vastly reduced the amount of paper used in our day-to-day operations.
4. Low-Waste Break Room
The break room in the LG-TEK Corporate Headquarters utilizes reusable ceramic coffee mugs rather than disposables, and all disposable flatware available is biodegradable.
5. Office E-Waste Recycling/Donation
LG-TEK utilizes an E-Waste Recycling service to dispose of broken or obsolete electronics. We also donate used electronics when local schools have electronics donation drives. This keeps the toxic components from disposed electronic equipment out of landfills.
6. Video Teleconferencing
To eliminate unnecessary business travel, which can be substantial portion of a company’s carbon footprint, LG-TEK utilizes online Video Teleconferencing via Zoom and MS Teams for all applicable work meetings. LG-TEK has an “essential travel only” policy.

9. Flexible Dress Code
LG-TEK has a business-casual dress code allowing our employees to dress for the weather. This eliminates energy spent on heating and cooling.
10. Heat-Reflective Windows
All windows at our 6865 Deerpath Road office building are manufactured from a high-efficiency glass product in order to reduce energy used by the HVAC system.
11. Live Plants in the Office Space
Plants have been proven to decrease air pollution, as well as increase the mood and productivity of employees. The LG-TEK corporate office is decorated with several live plants.
12. Second-Hand Office Equipment
When available, LG-TEK has purchased pre-used durable office equipment (e.g.; conference tables, cabinets and desks) to eliminate unnecessary landfill waste.
Diversity Equity and Inclusion
We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.
LG-TEK’s diversity initiatives are applicable—but not limited—to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection; compensation and benefits; professional development and training; promotions; transfers; social and recreational programs; layoffs; terminations; and the ongoing development of a work environment built on the premise of gender and diversity equity that encourages and enforces:
1. Respectful communication and cooperation between all employees.
2. Teamwork and employee participation, permitting the representation of all groups and employee perspectives.

All employees of LG-TEK have a responsibility to treat others with dignity and respect at all times. All employees are expected to exhibit conduct that reflects inclusion during work, at work functions on or off the work site, and at all other company-sponsored and participative events. All employees are also required to attend and complete annual diversity awareness training to enhance their knowledge to fulfill this responsibility.
Any employee found to have exhibited any inappropriate conduct or behavior against others may be subject to disciplinary action.
Employees who believe they have been subjected to any kind of discrimination that conflicts with the company’s diversity policy and initiatives should seek assistance from a supervisor or by contacting an HR representative at [email protected].
