LLCC student named IACEA Outstanding Adult Learner of the Year

Congratulations to LLCC’s Maxime Kassa, who was recently named Outstanding Adult Learner of the Year at the Illinois Adult and Continuing Educators Association (IACEA) Conference on March 7. The award recognizes an adult education student who has improved the life situation of themselves or others as a result of learning experience, has demonstrated leadership within formal or nontraditional learning, has overcome difficult circumstances in order to pursue learning experience, and has been supportive of others engaged in adult learning. After coming to LLCC to strengthen his English skills, Maxime completed his construction occupations certificate and will graduate this May with an associate degree in applied science in construction occupations. He has inspired others to enroll in the college’s adult education program.

Who Will Receive the 2024 Distinguished Service Award?

Nominations Begin Today!

The Distinguished Service Award recognizes more than the “employee of the year.” This award is given to LLCC employees who demonstrate exemplary leadership and service to the college community, promote a student-focused environment and exhibit a strong commitment to the college’s core values. Service is a matter of the job. Leadership can be provided in subtle ways. This award recognizes those who provide service and leadership beyond the minimum. Nominations should clearly describe what qualities exhibited by the nominee through his/her performance, attitude, behavior and action puts them in the elite class of “Distinguished Service Award Recipient.”

Recipients of the Distinguished Service Award will be selected from the nomination pool. If no one is nominated in a particular category, no award will be given. The Committee does not widen the pool beyond those nominations received, so your nomination is important! The selection committee is comprised of past recipients of the award and other members of the college community. All employment classifications are represented.

To make a nomination, please submit the nomination form along with an essay about the nominee. The essay can be as long or short as you want it to be so long as concrete examples are provided of the areas identified in the nomination form. The information provided in the essay will be the basis of the evaluation for the selection committee.

The deadline for nominations to be submitted is Friday, April 19, 2024. For more information, please feel free to contact Kaelyn Bormida at 786-2214 or kaelyn.bormida@llcc.edu.
