Stalking Awareness: Myth vs. Reality

MYTH: It is only considered stalking if the perpetrator is physically following you. REALITY: Stalkers use a variety of methods to monitor, harass and threaten their victims. In addition to being physically followed, stalking can include: someone learning your routine and waiting for you in places you frequently visit and the use of technology such as phones, computers, social media, GPS and cameras. Join SAVE Taskforce’s efforts to debunk common and dangerous myths by discussing the facts you learn from the LincIn posts, table tents and bathroom posters.

Effective immediately: Accounts Payable will no longer reimburse sales tax

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM ACCOUNT PAYABLE: Effective immediately, Accounts Payable will no longer reimburse sales tax. Any requests for personal reimbursement that include sales tax will be reduced by the sales tax amount. Lincoln Land Community College is a tax exempt entity. It is important that all purchases be made through our Purchasing office because they work with our vendors to ensure that LLCC is not subject to sales tax. In the rare instances when purchases need to be made by an individual, he or she should contact the Purchasing office to confirm if the vendor has a copy of our tax exempt certificate. As we continue to look at ways to be good stewards of LLCC resources, it is important that we do not pay for a cost from which we are exempt. You can contact Karie Longhta, Rachel Patarozzi or Cheryl Sneed if you have any questions or concerns.
