WAND covered LLCC’s Girls in Construction program yesterday. The College for Kids program is being held in partnership with O’Shea Builders and YMCA to give young women hands-on experience in construction trades. Dr. Laurel Bretz, associate vice president, continuing, corporate and professional education; Matt O’Shea, adjunct instructor; and Mattie Tierney, student, were interviewed.

LLCC Agriculture students Matt Crow, Darci Wolber and Drake Germann were recently interviewed by 1450 AM about their experience in the program’s ag industry tour this year in Oregon.

Jay Kitterman, culinary and special events consultant, takes us through the latest in restaurant technology in this week’s Epicuriosity 101 column for the Springfield State Journal-Register.
