Logger of the Month is your chance to nominate a student you feel represents our student body. In addition to receiving a $25 voucher to the LLCC Bookstore and a certificate of celebration, Logger of the Month recipients will be recognized for their respective month during the Student Recognition Ceremony in the spring semester.
