LEAGUE is the annual giving campaign for LLCC faculty and staff to make charitable donations for grants, programs, scholarships and other important needs. The campaign always features a lot of fun, but the dollars raised are for a serious purpose – to support our students. So on their behalf thank you!

Honors Club hosts Senior Citizen’s Prom
The LLCC Honors Program, advised by Dr. Claire Gordon, hosted a St. Patrick’s Day themed senior citizen’s prom last Friday evening. The prom was held at the Villas of Holly Brook in Chatham. Residents enjoyed eating cake, dancing to 40s and 50s music, and getting their photos taken in front of a rainbow backdrop. Residents also voted for a prom king and queen. The winners, a married couple, live together at the Villas. They celebrated with a king and queen dance. The queen even informed students that she was from southern Illinois and he was from Chicago, so she had been trying to teach him how to dance for years!
