Nominate a student for Logger of the Month

Faculty and staff — do you have a student you feel represents the best of our campus community? Maybe the student you have in mind is a student leader, perhaps they are academically strong or maybe they are just someone you have noticed going above and beyond lately. Whatever the case, LLCC Student Life needs your help celebrating and recognizing our amazing students!

Student Life is thrilled to begin a new tradition, Logger of The Month. Logger of The Month is your chance to nominate a student you feel represents our student body. In addition to receiving a $25 voucher to the bookstore and a certificate of celebration, Logger of The Month recipients will be recognized for their respective month during the Student Recognition Ceremony in the spring semester.

Nominations are currently being accepted for September and will close on October 28. Please complete the Student Life Logger of The Month Nomination Form to make a nomination, and thank you for taking the time to recognize a student.
