LLCC has partnered with Memorial Medical Center to provide a free COVID-19 vaccination clinic on the main campus. This vaccination clinic is available to all college employees and students. It will be held on Thursday, May 13, 9 a.m. to noon in A. Lincoln Commons. The vaccine that will be administered is the Pfizer vaccine. This vaccine requires two rounds of vaccination, so the second vaccine clinic date will take place on Thursday, June 3. If you have not yet been vaccinated and want to take advantage of this convenient opportunity, simply schedule your vaccination time for the clinic.
Tony Rothering, professor of biology, and Samantha Reif, associate professor of geology, are featured in a video by the Ilinois State Museum on bird banding efforts at Jubilee Farm.
As a community service, Lincoln Land Community College is launching a free program in June to help graduating high school seniors boost their writing and math skills in preparation for college in the fall.
LLCC Summer Boost classes will be offered on the LLCC Springfield campus Mondays-Thursdays beginning June 7 and concluding Wednesday, June 30.

LLCC is partnering with SHIELD Illinois to provide saliva based COVID-19 testing for our LLCC community. These tests are free of charge and are designed to identify positive cases prior to the onset of symptoms (if you are symptomatic, we still do not want you coming onto campus). This testing program will begin today, April 19, and will be conducted on the south side of the Trutter Center. Testing will be conducted on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and individuals will get their test results by the next business day. Please note that individuals should not eat, drink (including water), chew gum, smoke or use tobacco products within 60 minutes of providing a saliva sample. While we are not requiring employees to be tested, if you are on campus it is strongly encouraged that you be tested once a week. This is just an additional measure to help ensure the health and safety of our campus community.
In order to be tested, you will need to do the following:
Register on the SHIELD IL portal account: Portal.shieldillinois.com
Use agency code: bhzrx9j1-emp
This is the site where you can go if you want to schedule an appointment for testing (although an appointment is not required) and to view your test results. Additional information regarding the testing program: Employee SHIELD Testing Instructions.
