The LLCC Foundation yesterday launched a $2.5-million endowment fund campaign called “Grow Beyond.”
“Our theme, ‘Grow Beyond,’ reflects the purpose of the endowment fund,” said Karen Sanders, executive director of the LLCC Foundation. “LLCC graduates ‘grow beyond’ by continuing their education or doing vital work in our communities. Additionally, a strong endowment fund broadens educational opportunities, truly helping all communities we touch to ‘grow beyond.’”
The Grow Beyond press conference Sept. 10 was covered by the SJ-R, WICS, WUIS, WFMB-AM and WMAY. Interviewed were Dr. Charlotte Warren, LLCC president; LLCC Trustee Dennis Shackelford; Karen Sanders, LLCC Foundation executive director; Greg Lutchka, LLCC Foundation Board Chair, LLCC culinary student Peggy Szelinski.
Also Sept. 10, the SJ-R interviewed Lynn Whalen, executive director, PRM, about fall enrollment.

A bird was caught Wednesday that stumped master bird bander Vern Kleen, and that is unheard of! It was an exotic species called a Yellow-fronted Canary, native to Africa. As far as we know, there are not any breeding populations in the Midwest and there is no indication that this bird was ever captive. If there is general agreement within the birding community that this was not an escapee, and there are no records of this species in the Midwest, the capture of this bird will be HUGE in the birding world. Biology Professor Tony Rothering will keep us posted!
In an effort to improve how we help new students in their transition to LLCC, we are seeking input from faculty and staff. Please take a few moments to respond to the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/improvenso
Thanks, Chris Barry, Director, Retention & Student Success

The LLCC business cards have a new look! The back has been redesigned and will soon begin appearing on cards that have been ordered. Faculty and staff are encouraged to use the remainder of their current cards, but we wanted to give you a sneak peak of what future cards will look like. The information on the front will remain the same.
If you need to order new business cards, remember to fill out a request on the PRM Portal.
