Learning Resources Workgroup Meeting today

The Learning Resources Workgroup meets again today, Nov. 13, 1-3 p.m. in Kreher Agriculture Center, Rooms 1115/1117. We have data to share and foster further discussion. If you couldn’t attend the first meeting, you are still welcome to join us as we continue our conversation! If you have any questions, please contact Ryan Roberts or Alex Berry.

Early Alert workgroup survey deadline today

The Early Alert workgroup is investigating how we can use an early alert system to improve student retention. LLCC’s current Early Alert system is used by some faculty members to report grades at specific times throughout the semester, but it does not have widespread use. Since every LLCC employee interacts with students in some capacity, we would like to hear your ideas on how we can support students through an early alert intervention. Please think about any conversations you’ve had or overheard with students where they have described a gap in service or a barrier they have experienced. We want to gather input from the LLCC community and encourage you to complete a brief survey by Nov. 1.

Thank you from Bill Harmon and Brianna VanMeter

We would like to thank the campus community for their support after the passing of our father and grandfather Elmer Harmon. The emails, cards and words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. He was a strong advocate for LLCC and was proud to have three children and three grandchildren graduate from the college.

Bill Harmon, professor, agriculture, and Brianna VanMeter, recruitment specialist
