May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Thank you from BSU and the Masquerade Ball

On behalf of the Black Student Union, we would like to thank all the faculty and staff who donated money to purchase tickets for our Masquerade Ball. We had over $250 in donated tickets with a total of $850 in ticket sales! These donations allowed students who couldn’t afford a dance ticket to attend the event. Students came dressed to impress and were able to participate in our board games room and 360 booth, dance to the DJ and enjoy a full hot meal for dinner as well — all for $10! To see the pictures of the event, please visit our LLCC BSU Facebook group page!
