Our sympathy to family and friends of June Rutherford, former LLCC secretary for the vice president, academic services, who passed away May 30. She was one of the first employees at LLCC in 1968, and later returned to the college to work from 1977-1994. Visitation will be held from 10 a.m. until the time of the funeral service (noon) at Auburn United Methodist Church. Burial will be in Auburn Cemetery. Read the obituary.
To maintain our attractive and welcoming campus environment for students and visitors, please bring any posters and flyers you need posted to LLCC Student Life for posting on bulletin boards, rather than taping them on building doors and walls. If your department has sign stands, those may also be used, and if you would like a digital sign, you may order those via PRM Kbox ticket. Thank you!
