LEAGUE grant applications available

Now through Jan. 31, the LLCC Foundation will be accepting applications for LEAGUE grants. A total of approximately $10,000 will be awarded for projects and programs at LLCC.

Faculty and staff make these grants possible through their generous giving to the annual faculty and staff campaign each spring known as LEAGUE. Access grant guidelines and the application and budget worksheet. They may also be obtained by contacting the LLCC Foundation at 786-2785 or by emailing LLCCFoundation@LLCC.edu

Donations to the LEAGUE campaign support LLCC students through the LEAGUE grant program, scholarships and other funds, including the “Pay It Forward” fund which helps students with emergent needs. Each year approximately 40 percent of LLCC faculty and staff contribute. Our thanks to our generous LLCC faculty and staff for donating more than $51,000 to the 2018 LEAGUE campaign!

Again, the deadline to submit grant applications to the LLCC Foundation (located in Menard 1214) is Thursday, Jan. 31 at 5 p.m. Awards will be announced at the LEAGUE kickoff on March 26.

External Stakeholders Team seeks your input

The External Stakeholders Team is reopening their survey to get greater participation from faculty and staff. The team needs your help in identifying various external stakeholders with whom the college interacts and serves. You might have some questions:

  1. What is an external stakeholder?
    Groups or entities outside of LLCC that you interact with on behalf of LLCC.
  2. What if I don’t have much or any interaction with external stakeholders?
    For many of us, our job duties revolve around current students. However, we still ask that you complete the survey even if you rate your interaction with external stakeholders as “none.”
  3. Why does the survey ask us to identify ourselves and our department?
    The team will be using the survey results to group faculty and staff with similar external stakeholders. The team will then organize focus groups to learn how we as a college collect, analyze and document stakeholder needs, perception and satisfaction. There are no right or wrong answers. The end goal is to develop systematic processes, and everyone’s help is needed to achieve it.
  4. If I already completed the survey, do I need to do it again?
    No, and thank you for completing the survey earlier! Your responses have already proven very helpful.
  5. Who should I contact if I have questions or trouble accessing the survey?
    Laurel Bretz (laurel.bretz@llcc.edu or 786-2430) or Nancy Sweet (nancy.sweet@llcc.edu or 786-4613)

Please complete the survey by Wednesday, Dec. 5.  

Thank you!

Congratulations to Debbie Frost!

Chuck and Debbie FrostCongratulations to Debbie (Hines) Frost, Academic Innovation & eLearning assistant, of Divernon on her marriage to Chuck Frost of Winchester on Saturday Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. The wedding took place in a garden tent ceremony in Winchester. Months prior to the wedding, the couple decided to call their wedding “Frostapalooza” in reference to the groom’s last name and wedding festivities. Little did the couple know it would truly be a “Frostapalooza,” as the high that day was 31 degrees and the low was 13 degrees. Many heaters were set up, hand warmers were passed out and the coat check remained empty — a truly memorable and fun day!
