April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month- Sexual Harassment Prevention Week
Sexual harassment is against the law and has no place at LLCC. Are you able to answer all of these questions?
What does sexual harassment look like?
What does sexual harassment sound like?
How would you support someone who says they were sexually harassed?
If you experienced sexual harassment on campus, where would you go to report it?
The truth is that all of us would benefit from a refresher. Join Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault, PCASA, on April 15 and 18 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to learn about sexual harassment.
Save the Date for next week’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month programming which focuses on Supporting Sexual Assault Survivors.
- April 23 – Stop by the resource table in A. Lincoln Commons from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. to learn how to support sexual assault survivors.
- April 24 – Denim Day sponsored by LLCC’s Games Club – Denim Day is an annual, National Day of Awareness that encourages participants to wear denim as a symbol of believing survivors and asserting that consent has nothing to do with your clothing. Donate a minimum of $5 to PCASA and purchase a sticker to wear denim on National Denim Day 2024. Donations will be accepted in Student Life and the Outreach Center locations.
Additional information and resources on sexual assault is available on LLCC’s website. You may also contact Leslie Johnson, Interim Compliance & Prevention Coordinator , 217-786-2848.

Autism Tips for Teachers – by an Autistic Teacher
For this week of Autism Awareness Month, LLCC Accessibility Services is sharing the article “Autism Tips for Teachers – by an Autistic Teacher“. This is a great read for faculty and staff to help better understand autistic students and provide ideas to assist them in navigating the challenges they may have in our campus spaces.
Mental Health Campus Check-Up
LLCC is enhancing the mental health services available to students through the addition of Kellee Phillips as the student care coordinator, and by creating the Student Well Being and Mental Health Task Force. This committee, comprised of five staff, five faculty, and five students, seeks to:
- Identify, research and recommend ways to enhance mental health and well-being for students.
- Improve resources to address the various needs available to the student population.
- Break the stigma by bringing mental health awareness to the entire LLCC community.
What we have accomplished so far:
- Process developed for where to send students in need.
- Flyers and posters encouraging mental health awareness around campus.
- Increasing student knowledge about current resources available such as 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and Talkspace.
- NAMI: In Our Own Voice presentation for students, faculty and staff.
- Tami Odimayo, psychologist and author, Cassie Delaney, Memorial Behavioral Health project director of Crisis System of Care, and Stephanie Carson, business development coordinator of Gateway Foundation, came to speak at PDD about the different approaches and processes when students are in need of resources and support.
- We have implemented a non-uniformed, co-responder with police and Kellee Phillips, when a student is in emotional distress.
Stay tuned for updates on what the Student Well Being and Mental Health Task Force has been up to! If you have any questions, please contact Kellee Phillips.
