The West Central Illinois Breastfeeding Task Force honored Lincoln Land Community College with its “Breastfeeding is Smart Business” Award in recognition of the private lactation room the college opened for nursing mothers in the Millennium Center last spring. Michelle Burger, career development professional, accepted the award on behalf of the college at the group’s 20th annual “Walk at the Zoo” event Saturday, Aug. 1. The award will be on display in the lactation room.

The award recognizes the college’s efforts to support breastfeeding and continuing education. The director praised LLCC for making it easier for LLCC staff, faculty and students to be able to support and provide for their families while at work or continuing their higher education.
