The Admission, Records and Registration staff is still collecting donations for Karla Martin, program records specialist and 2014 Outstanding LLCC Graduate, who was the victim of a devastating fire several weeks ago. She and her children lost beds, Christmas presents, food and clothing, and were displaced from their home.  Grocery cards, gift cards or monetary contributions may be dropped off to Shawn Allen, Shanda Byer or Susan Mendenhall.

LLCC-J Traveling Theatre performed HO! HO! SNOW! Saturday and Sunday to the delight of 200 children and adults in attendance. Non-perishable food items were collected and donated to the local food pantry.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who offered support to me and my family following the fire in our home. The outpouring of generosity from my LLCC family was unimaginable.

Thank you! These two words cannot fully express how grateful my family and I are for your kind thoughts, prayers, and donations. We will remain forever grateful.

Thursday, Dec. 11:  Register and Relax jeans day Enrollment Services invites everyone to participate in support of the Register & Relax campaign. Help create a “relaxing” atmosphere  Thursday. It is too cold to show your support by wearing your beach wear, but break out your Hawaiian shirts. It’s a casual day (jeans), so think sunshine, warm weather, beaches and dress accordingly. Most importantly, please use this opportunity to encourage students to register so they can relax and enjoy their break!
