“Why” we do what we do

The LLCC Student Success office has undergone significant changes over the past few years, so it is the office’s goal that colleagues across campus get to better know the who, what, when, where and why of Student Success. For the past few weeks, we welcomed you into our world and shared the following:

• ‘Who” we are — We introduced our 12-member team.
• “What” we do — We utilize the Appreciative Framework by using the Appreciative Advising Model to define how we approach our work.
• “When” we are available — Students make appointments or meet with us during our drop-in hours.
• “Where” we are located — We meet with our students on the Springfield campus as well as the Outreach Centers.

And now, we want to share “why” we do what we do. Our name says it best: STUDENT SUCCESS!

We would like to end this series of Words to the Wise Wednesday with the following poem from author unknown:

Students Are …

Important people on this campus.
Not cold enrollment statistics, but flesh and blood.
Human beings with feelings and emotions like our own.

Not people to be tolerated so we can do our thing.
Students are our thing.

Not dependent on us;
Rather, we are both interdependent on one another.

Not an interruption of our work,
But the purpose of it.

Without students,
There would be no need for this institution.
