I am pleased to announce the appointment of Kelli Sinclair as the vice president of student services. Sinclair has an extensive background working in all areas of student services at Aurora University, Elgin Community College, and most recently as executive dean for student success at Waubonsee Community College. She co-created a student success coaching program which increased retention for high-need students by 12-15% per year for five years. Her past work reflects a collaborative approach in working with faculty and staff to build relationships and to ultimately improve student success. We look forward to her joining our staff on Aug. 1.

Charlotte Warren, Ph.D., President, Lincoln Land Community College
