After-hours study space in Trutter

The LLCC Black Student Union made use of the after-hours study space in Trutter this past Sunday. BSU students were able to use this uninterrupted time to work on upcoming assignments and prepare for finals week. The students also received a visit from Ember while studying. LLCC staff Brandon Lewis, Kim Wilson, Lisa Clanton and Andre Rye volunteered their Sunday afternoons and also provided much needed study snacks! Thank you to LLCC Police Department for their assistance as well.
