With the most recent guideline changes in regards to mask wearing implemented by the CDC and with the Executive Order issued this week by Governor Pritzker, the Campus Guidelines have been amended in the following manner:
- Face coverings and social distancing requirements are considered optional for fully vaccinated individuals;
- If not fully vaccinated, face coverings remain required as do adhering to social distancing guidelines (whenever possible);
Please note that the above guideline changes DO NOT apply to employees of the LLCC Child Development Center. As outlined in the Executive Order, those staff should continue mask wearing and social distancing regardless of vaccination status while in the child care setting.
Signage throughout campus will be updated to reflect these guideline updates.
For more information and the full guidelines, please refer to yesterday’s email from Bryan Gleckler, vice president, administrative services.
As a reminder, Memorial Medical Center will be back on campus on June 3, 2021 for a COVID-19 vaccination clinic. To schedule an appointment please go to the follow link: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/LLCC@llcconline.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/. Also, vaccinations are now widely available through local health departments, Walgreens, CVS, Hy-Vee and many other locations throughout our communities.
This fall, LLCC will once again be participating in the Springfield Area Arts Council’s On My Own Time (OMOT) program. This unique program provides LLCC faculty and staff an opportunity to display original art they have created outside the office, truly, on your own time. There will be an in-house exhibit at LLCC followed by a city-wide exhibit at the Springfield Art Association showcasing first place award-winning artwork from all participating businesses, agencies and institutions.
Faculty and staff may enter up to three works of art each. Works previously entered in OMOT or created prior to 2020 are not eligible. The artist fee is $5 per artwork submitted. The fee assists SAAC with costs of the OMOT program. Details will be announced later this summer.

We are very proud of our 2021 graduates and their drive to succeed! Faculty and staff lined the Graduate Parade route yesterday, holding congratulatory signs and cheering on the graduates as they drove through the main campus in Springfield.
