General Information
On behalf of the faculty, staff and Board of Trustees, I welcome you to Lake
Washington Institute of Technology.
For over 60 years LWIT has been changing lives and helping our graduates and
their families achieve a brighter future. We provide affordable professional and
technical training in a hands-on learning environment with instructors who
have worked in the subjects they teach. Advisers are here to help guide you in
selecting the right pathway and our outstanding faculty and supportive staff
is committed to helping you to succeed.
We are focused on success at all levels. Whether you come to us looking to
change careers; keep abreast of changing technologies; learn English or brush
up on math skills; graduate high school; prepare to transfer to a university or
simply take a class for fun, LWIT provides a pathway to help you reach your
educational goals.
Dr. David Woodall These are exciting times at LWIT. Our first graduates in the Bachelor of
Technology in Applied Design (BTAD) program were awarded their diplomas
in June and, with the signing of Senate Bill 5664 in April, Lake Washington
Technical College officially became Lake Washington Institute of Technology
on July 24, 2011.
When fall quarter classes start, the doors will open on our new 83,000 square
foot Allied Health building. This state-of-the-art facility on our Kirkland
campus will be home to career training programs in Nursing, Dental, Physical
Therapist Assistant, Occupational Therapy Assistant, as well as Washington
State’s first Funeral Service Education program. Also a first in the state, a new
Washington Network for Innovative Careers (WaNIC) high school skills center
will be co-located in this 3-story, energy efficient facility.
As a member of the Five Star Consortium, we are working with Cascadia,
Edmonds, Everett, and Shoreline Community Colleges to streamline and
standardize operations, making it easier for students to move between
our schools.
Since 1949 LWIT’s goal has been: to help you succeed on your chosen path by
providing affordable professional and technical training that prepares you for
today’s careers and tomorrow’s opportunities.
We invite you to explore all we have to offer and look forward to welcoming
you into the Lake Washington Institute of Technology family!
Dr. David Woodall
