Short film produced on LLCC’s bird banding station

LLCC student and bird banding station volunteer Mark Gordon recently produced this excellent short film on the LLCC bird banding station as an independent study project. Tony Rothering, professor of biology, and Vern Kleen, master bird bander, are featured, along with LLCC students and station volunteers. Samantha Reif, assistant professor of geosciences, is also in the film.  This spring, 1064 birds of 75 species were banded at LLCC, and fall banding will begin again Aug. 24.

A sincere thank-you from Janelle Murphy

I’d like to express a sincere thank-you to the very caring and supportive people that make LLCC such a great place to belong. Your condolences on the passing of my mother were very thoughtful and much appreciated.

Thank you, Janelle

Capturing nature at its best!

Chris McDonald, Ph.D., captured on camera this heron that caught two fish. The heron caught the two fish, put one down while eating the other. Then the heron took the dropped fish back to the water, rinsed it off and then ate it too!

Line of March Protocol for Commencement

Click: Line of March 2015

The Line of March for Commencement is determined by the hire date for a full-time, Board of Trustees-approved position.  Adjunct instructor positions do not fall into this category.  If an adjunct instructor fills a full-time, benefit-eligible, Board-approved position, the date they were hired into that position becomes the hire date used to determine position in the line of march.  If someone leaves LLCC, vacating a full-time, Board-approved position, and then returns, the date on which they were re-hired becomes the new hire date in determining their position in the line of march (because employment was not continuous). Individuals who are unable to attend the ceremony in a given year are removed from the line of march for that year. As a result, there is some shifting every year based on who is and who is not attending the ceremony.

We do our best to ensure that the line of march is accurate. However, there may be some instances in which a hire date is inaccurate. If you believe you should be somewhere else in the line, feel free to stand there. The line of march is more of a guide as opposed to a hard and fast rule. The commencement ceremony is focused on graduates, and that is where the majority of effort and preparation occurs. We appreciate your attendance at the ceremony and look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of our students.
