Welcome to Lake-Sumter State College!

Hello, I am Professor Rogers. I have been teaching online classes in history and humanities at Lake-Sumter State College since 2013, and the majority of my current courses are online courses. I have been at the college since 2006, and have taught and helped well over 4,000 students in my classes. I am fortunate to have traveled extensively, and I love my Kentucky Wildcats. I also love teaching history and helping students succeed. I look forward to working with you.
