October observances

Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Every1KnowsSome1

Domestic Violence Awareness Month was launched in October 1987 to increase awareness. It is also a great time to highlight the available resources and remind survivors they are supported.

This year’s theme is Every1KnowsSome1, which means domestic violence impacts everyone in our community. During the next month, we will be hosting events and sharing information to help you learn more about domestic violence and who it affects, pledge to end domestic violence and provide opportunities to support survivors.

Week of Oct. 2

Join the LLCC community in wearing a purple ribbon

The display of purple ribbons throughout a community conveys a powerful message that there’s no place for domestic violence in the homes, neighborhoods, workplaces or schools of its citizens (www.dvawareness.org). Stop by the Info Desk in A. Lincoln Commons, Student Life, Student Success or an Outreach Center to pick up a purple ribbon to bring awareness to domestic violence.

Purple Thursday

Thursday, Oct. 19 is Purple Thursday. Wear purple (or dye your hair) and show your support for those who are currently experiencing or have experienced domestic violence.

Supporting survivors and honoring those whose lives ended prematurely due to domestic violence

LLCC Compliance & Prevention and Student Life are seeking donations for Sojourn Shelter & Services Inc. They need shampoo, conditioner, soap, dental products and razors for those staying in their shelter. Donations can be dropped off in Student Life, Student Success or any Outreach Center.

Mandatory training

In accordance with Board Policy 1.7 and the Illinois Human Rights Act, all employees, including adjunct instructors, student workers and other contractual, part-time and/or temporary employees, are required to complete sexual harassment prevention training on an annual basis. Training is administered online to provide a flexible format in which employees can complete the training and still accommodate their busy schedules. The course contains content that is certified to meet training requirements as required in the Illinois Human Rights Act, as well as additional content on other forms of harassment and discrimination. As such, all employees are required to complete this course even if you may have recently completed a similar training through another employer. This is a new course, so all employees must complete this training even if you have recently completed training as a new hire.

Today, September 28, all employees will be sent an email, to their LLCC email account, from the college’s training provider, Vector Solutions, with a unique link to complete the course. You must have an active LLCC account to log in.  If you have not activated your LLCC account, please contact the helpdesk at 217-786-2555 or helpme@llcc.edu for assistance. Since it is an internet-based training, you can access the program 24 hours a day anywhere that you have Internet access. It takes approximately 20 minutes to complete the course.  Completion of the course must be done within 30 days of receipt of the training email.
