You Know message for the week of Nov. 11
The semester is winding down. Encourage students to get a head start on preparing for finals. The Center for Academic Success and Writing Center are ready to assist. Students can call or email to make an appointment.
National Day on Writing Event
This week, the LLCC Writing Center invites students, faculty and staff to celebrate the National Day on Writing and embrace a “write” mindset. Stop by the Center, lower level of the library, to create a snack bag of “write” food, craft a journal or contribute to a project board showcasing poems, short narratives, free writing — anything that shares something about who you are as an essential, appreciated part of the LLCC community. Especially encourage students to visit. The names of all students who participate or have an appointment in the Writing Center during the week will go into a drawing for a $25 gift card.
The Writing Center can help with paper revisions
Faculty please let students know to keep the Writing Center in mind during the revision process. Appointments are available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays. Students may call 217-786-2341 or stop by the Writing Center to find a time (in person or online) that works for them.
