Faculty and staff,
As we prepare for the LLCC Commencement ceremonies in 2025, we are excited to begin the process of selecting our student speaker. The student speaker plays a key role in representing the voice of the graduating class, inspiring peers and celebrating the shared experience of our academic community.
We are looking for a student who exemplifies the values of LLCC — one who has shown leadership, perseverance and a commitment to personal growth. This year, we are particularly seeking a student whose journey aligns with the theme of “Change.” We are looking for someone who has experienced significant transformation in their life, whether through their academic work, connections with faculty, staff and peers, or by overcoming personal challenges. This student should have a unique perspective on how LLCC has helped shape or alter their outlook on life, their future, or their personal trajectory.
If you know a student who has demonstrated these qualities, someone who positively represents LLCC and embodies the spirit of growth and transformation, we invite you to submit a nomination for their consideration as the student speaker.
Please provide a brief rationale for your nomination, detailing how the student has embraced change and how their experiences at LLCC have impacted their path. Nominations should be submitted no later than March 22, 2025, to Gailyn Draper.
A nomination form is linked below, along with a list of graduating students for 2024-2025 school year.

LLCC is transitioning to SDS Manager, an online safety data sheet management system. Training on how to access and use the database will be provided on Wednesday, March 3, at 3:30 p.m. in Kreher Agriculture Center, Room 1115/1117.
Anyone that uses hazardous chemicals or products is encouraged to attend. If you cannot attend in person, a video of the presentation will be made available on Environmental Health and Safety SharePoint page. If you have any questions, email Lisa Volk-Draper or call 217-786-3491.
As we approach the culmination of another academic year at LLCC, we invite you to reflect on the students you’ve worked with — those who have shown resilience, perseverance and growth throughout their journey. Many of our students have faced unique challenges, overcoming obstacles that have tested their limits and shaped their personal and academic success. You, as faculty and staff, have had the privilege of seeing these students rise above adversity, but also making the necessary changes to excel not just in the classroom, but in their overall personal development.
The office of the vice president of student services will be seeking nominations for the 2025 Student Speaker, and we encourage you to consider those students whose stories stand out to you – those who have demonstrated exceptional strength, determination, and academic achievement despite the hurdles they’ve encountered.
Nomination forms will be available Feb. 19 either by emailing Gailyn Draper or at the office of the Vice President of Student Services, Menard Hall, Room 1256.
This is an incredible opportunity to honor your student’s achievements, and your insights into their journeys could help us identify the voice for our 2025 graduating class. Please take some time during the next few weeks to think about who of your students truly exemplify the spirit of perseverance and success at LLCC.
Watch for the nomination form to be posted here in the LincIn and submit one or more nominations.

Sexual harassment is against the law and has no place at LLCC. Are you able to answer all of these questions?
What does sexual harassment look like?
What does sexual harassment sound like?
How would you support someone who says they were sexually harassed?
If you experienced sexual harassment on campus, where would you go to report it?
The truth is that all of us would benefit from a refresher. Join Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault, PCASA, on April 15 and 18 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to learn about sexual harassment.
Save the Date for next week’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month programming which focuses on Supporting Sexual Assault Survivors.
Additional information and resources on sexual assault is available on LLCC’s website. You may also contact Leslie Johnson, Interim Compliance & Prevention Coordinator , 217-786-2848.
