Paul Van Heuklom performs Native American flute concert this Sunday, March 2 in Recital Series
A Native American flute concert called “Dragonfly Dreams” will be presented by Paul Van Heuklom Sunday, March 2 as part of the LLCC Recital Series. The performance begins at 4 p.m. in the Trutter Center and is free and open to the public.
LLCC Arts and Humanities Professor Paul Van Heuklom is a member of the Sangamon Valley Flute Circle.

The final recital in this year’s series will be Sunday, April 27 featuring Emerald Underground, a Celtic ensemble.
Message from Dr. Warren regarding PACE Climate Survey
As you know every three years the college administers a climate survey to provide data on perceptions of the college environment, and to help to inform us on what we are doing well and what may need some tweaking. In the fall the Personal Assessment of the College Environment (PACE) survey was administered for this purpose. We appreciate your input and look closely at the results. Your feedback is a part of continuous planning for improvements at the college. An example of that is something you will see formally announced soon in LincIN. Watch for the implementation of KUDOS, an opportunity to recognize faculty and staff for the many times they go out of their way to support our students and our operations. We will continue to analyze results and work toward improving the existing college climate.

i.e. improv announces spring performance schedule
“i.e. improv,” the improvisational performance group at LLCC, has begun its performance schedule for the spring semester. Upcoming performances are Thursday evenings, Feb. 27, March 20, April 3 and May 1 and 8, all beginning at 6 p.m. in Sangamon Hall South room 009. The public is invited, with viewer discretion advised. Tickets are available at the door for $2.
As a completely off-the-cuff show, this group takes audience suggestions and turns them into long-form improv. This spring the students are performing with a surrealist bent as scenes warp time and space in an imaginative and dream-like romp.
More information is available by emailing Mark Hardiman, professor of theatre, at mark.hardiman@llcc.edu or by calling 786.4942.
