The Lamp student newspaper at LLCC won 19 awards, including seven first-place awards, for journalism excellence at the Illinois Community College Journalism Association’s spring conference held virtually April 8.
The Lamp staff, led by Editor Richard Bailey of Springfield, won best website for TheLampOnline.com and best front-page design. The staff also won second place for best media.
Bailey received the annual scholarship awarded by the association to students transferring to a four-year college. It is the third year the association has offered the scholarship, and an LLCC student has been an awardee all three years.
Individual first-place awards included: Lily Goossens of Springfield for feature writing, Addison Keeley of Springfield for headline, Lille Brown of Jacksonville for news column, Skye Kretzinger of Chestnut for podcasting and Regina Ivy of Springfield, spring 2020 editor of The Lamp, for staff editorial.
“Working remotely has been a challenge, but the staff remained committed. They continued to do excellent work, and it’s reflected in a record number of first-place awards,” said Tim McKenzie, adviser of The Lamp, professor of journalism and humanities, and president of the ICCJA. “The staff awards for best media and website are about overall quality. Those awards show what I’ve seen — a staff that all works together to do the best work that they can.”
Other awards included:
The LLCC Student Government Association is holding elections for the 2021-22 academic year. Completed election packets are due tomorrow, April 7.
Leslie Johnson is advising SGA. If you have any specific questions, please let her know.
SGA is a great opportunity for your students to build their resume and leadership skills. As an added incentive, the student trustee and president roles include a tuition waiver. Please pass on this packet to any student that might be interested. And please encourage those that you think would make excellent candidates.
The LLCC Student Government Association is sponsoring a T-shirt fundraiser this year to help raise awareness of domestic or intimate partner violence and sexual assault. You might not know it, but statistically, it is very likely that you know someone who has been impacted by intimate partner violence and/or sexual assault. One out of every six American women has been the victim of attempted or completed rape. One in four women and one in nine men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, sexual violence and/or stalking. People of color, people with disabilities and people in the LGBTQ community experience even higher rates of sexual and intimate partner violence. SGA is taking a stand against this violence and in support of survivors, and you can, too!
At LLCC, many of the awareness and prevention programs focus on reminding the community that Awareness + Action = Social Change. SGA has partnered with LLCC Compliance & Prevention and Student Life to provide our community with a reminder of the importance of awareness and action in the form of a T-shirt! All students who participate in Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month activities will receive a shirt. In addition, all LLCC staff and faculty have the opportunity to buy this shirt with all of the proceeds going in support of agencies that serve the LLCC area. The deadline to order is today, April 6. Proceeds will benefit Sojourn Shelter & Services and the Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault.
Access T-shirt order forms. Every purchase is greatly appreciated!
Both organizations do wonderful work that helps provide support to victims of violence in our communities. In addition, Sojourn and PCASA both support LLCC by providing programming and informational materials as well as participating in campus taskforces focused on gender-based violence prevention and education. During a time where COVID has halted their usual fundraising events, these organizations need our support now more than ever. Every T-shirt purchased is an important step to a world where we need not worry about the issues that plague us today.
If you are not interested in a T-shirt but still want to help, please donate money to these organizations or any number of other similar shelters/organizations dedicated to combatting violence.
