Have you ever considered teaching a class?

LLCC is seeking individuals interested in teaching part-time at the college and will hold information fairs today, Nov. 9, 6-8 p.m., at LLCC Outreach Centers in Taylorville, Litchfield and Jacksonville.

“Teaching part-time at a community college is great way to supplement your income and share the knowledge you’ve gained through education and work,” said Jason Dockter, Ph.D., associate vice president of academic services.

Dockter said part-time teaching can appeal to retirees, those currently in the workforce and those who have just earned a graduate degree. Prior teaching experience is preferred but not required.

“Even if you’ve never thought about teaching, we invite you to come out and learn what’s involved. You can even apply on the spot if you bring a cover letter, resume and unofficial college transcripts.”

Part-time faculty are required to have earned a master’s degree with at least 18 hours in the subject being taught. Work experience can substitute for a degree in career and technical fields.

LLCC currently has available positions for part-time faculty in multiple fields including communication/public speaking, English composition and humanities, history and sociology, as well as in the career/technical fields of certified nursing assistant, welding, auto tech, electrical/industrial maintenance and hospitality/culinary arts.

Officials of LLCC and UIS signed an agreement today enhancing their partnership to ensure a smooth transition for LLCC students to complete bachelor’s degrees at UIS. The agreement also allows UIS students to utilize reverse transfer credits to complete associate degrees.

The transfer admission guarantee agreement enhances advising and coordination of course selection. LLCC graduates transferring to UIS would be admitted as juniors and have the admission application fee waived. They would also be eligible for priority registration the semester before transferring and for transfer merit scholarships based on their grade point average.

“This agreement is representative of our shared commitment to student success and to supporting students throughout their academic journey,” said Dr. Charlotte Warren, LLCC president. “LLCC students have an opportunity to earn an associate degree with us while also having the support and a clear path provided for admission to UIS to earn their bachelor’s degree. This also reflects our continued commitment to our community, keeping local to study, live and contribute to a vibrant economy.”

“This agreement further strengthens the partnership between our two institutions,” said Dr. Janet L. Gooch, UIS chancellor. “It also shows that UIS and LLCC continue to work collaboratively so students have a streamlined path to succeed in their educational and career goals. Both institutions have a strong reputation for building leaders and keeping them here in the community.”

Both LLCC and UIS provide in-person and online course options. LLCC offers more than 30 majors designed for transfer to a four-year university as well as career training degree and certificate programs. UIS offers 49 bachelor’s degrees, 51 master’s degrees and a variety of professional certifications that encompass a wide range of professions.

LLCC students interested in transferring to UIS to complete a bachelor’s degree should speak with their student success coach.
