Early Registration Event Today
It’s time for students to register for spring semester classes. LLCC Student Success will be hosting an early registration event to encourage students to register for spring classes. This event takes place today, Oct. 17, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in A. Lincoln Commons. Students can make appointments with their advisors, learn about resources and apply for graduation, and students who register and make payment arrangements by Wednesday, Dec. 4 will be eligible for a gift package. Please encourage your students to stop by.
Just-in-Time Programming Workgroup meets today
The final LLCC workgroups, inspired by convocation, meets today, Oct. 17 from 1-3 p.m. in the Robert H. Stephens Room.
Just-in-Time Programming
Traditional students will always be a part of our student body, however potential adult students and employers are looking for other options. There is increasing need for short-term programming to learn basic new skills, get a quick refresher on a subject, prepare for a new job, keep up with current job requirements, or seek opportunities for a promotion. This means building new certificate/program offerings that provide the opportunity to “ramp on and ramp off” to meet more immediate work needs of current students, potential students, and employers.
Co-chairs: Dr. Brent Todd, Josh Collins
Cabinet Liaison: Dr. Jason Dockter
Kick-off Meeting: Oct. 17, 1-3 p.m., Menard Hall, Robert H. Stephens Room
All LLCC colleagues are encouraged to join a workgroup that interests them. Diverse input helps ensure that decisions are well-rounded and consider the needs of the entire campus community. See the message from Dr. Charlotte Warren and the entire list of kick-off meetings.
We extend our condolences

Additionally, we offer our condolences to Sara Bachmann, instructor of nursing, on the passing of her brother, Joseph Duncan Irwin, on Oct. 14. Read the obituary.
LLCC Student Radiographer Association volunteers
The LLCC Student Radiographer Association volunteered at HSHS Mission Outreach on Nov. 10. Mission Outreach is an organization that accepts medical supply donations from all over the U.S. These donations are sorted at the center and then shipped overseas to various countries in need. Seventeen members of the club members sorted, counted, weighed, and boxed supplies to help expedite the process! They are current students of LLCC’s Associate Degree Radiography Program and demonstrated a strong commitment to bettering healthcare concerns across the world!
Those in attendance included Laina Bennett, Gabby Carroll, Madelyne Edmiston, Kori Estes, Olivia Hickman, Katie Lindsey, Claire Lowe, Lexi Mogle, Sydney Skeeters, Kayla Wittenauer, McKayla Clark, Haylee Kirkman, Simone Lammerse, Ainsley Matheis, Kelsi Murphy, Gillian Wooldridge, and Chris Young.

Menard Hall: New home for student services
As offices in LLCC Student Services have moved over the last week into the newly remodeled space on campus, we need help letting students know that they can now find these services in Menard Hall. If you interact with students, please let them know they can check in at the Student Services Hub for student success advising, financial aid, records, registration, compliance and prevention, and recruitment. Accessibility services, testing and support programs like TRIO, PATH and WEI are located next to the Hub. Testing will be moved to Menard Hall by the end of the week.
As spring registration begins this week, students may be coming to campus to meet with these offices. We want to ensure they can find the help they need.
Thanks for your assistance.
