LLCC Student Life will be piloting a program for new students the week of Jan. 6. This program is called Next Steps to Success and is designed for our new students that have completed New Student Orientation and met with their student success coach, but need some additional support completing any last-minute items to be successful in their first semester and beyond at LLCC. Students will also have an opportunity to build skills that will aide in their success. The dates and times for these events are:

• Wednesday, Jan. 8 from 9 a.m.-noon
• Friday, Jan. 10 from 1-4 p.m.

New students can mix and match the program offerings that best meet their current needs to ensure they are ready for their first day of classes! Here are the program offerings during Next Steps to Success:

• Classroom tours led by current student guides.
• Getting textbooks and supplies from the bookstore.
• Getting connected to crucial support services if they have not yet done so (LLCC Student Success, Financial Aid, Registration).
• Connection tables (one-on-one walk-up meetings with various campus services such as student life, human resources, library and scholarships).
• Breakout learning sessions surrounding various topics including: faculty and college expectations, campus technology, choosing a major/career, getting involved and more.
• Prizes will be given out, and food and drinks will be available to those that attend.

LLCC Student Life is looking forward to welcoming our incoming students and continue their success journey here at LLCC and beyond! As you are talking with our new students, please make sure they know about this opportunity. We will be inviting all students who have completed orientation to these events soon!

LLCC Student Life is putting out a call to action — asking faculty and staff to help build Thanksgiving baskets for the LLCC Food Pantry. While the primary purpose of the food pantry during the year is to provide ready-to-eat meals for our students, this time of year the food pantry is looking specifically for items that can help an LLCC student provide a wonderful Thanksgiving meal for their family. These specialty items will be collected through today, Nov. 22.

Thank you to the LLCC Student Government Association for getting the baskets started with their recent food drive. Student Life is hoping to put together 10 to 15 baskets for LLCC students and their families. Right now there is enough to make about five baskets. Students that are interested in requesting a basket, can come to the food pantry during regular hours to fill out the form.

View the list items that are needed. Please make sure these items are non-perishable.
