Student Advocacy Day is April 29 and we encourage your student leaders to sign up to attend! This is a fantastic opportunity for our LLCC students to meet other Illinois community college leaders and voice their opinion on why they feel tuition should be lowered at all community colleges. There is power in numbers and we would like a great showing from LLCC! The day’s agenda is below. Interested students should sign up in Student Life by Friday, April 17 at 5 p.m. 

The Student Life Office is taking vans to the Hilton and the Capitol Building on 4/29 for Student Advocacy Day 2015. We will leave LLCC at 8 a.m. and return around 1:30 p.m.. Below is a brief agenda for the day:
