Please plan to join us on Tuesday, Nov. 12. between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. in A. Lincoln Commons to donate. Schedule an appointment online.

For donating, you will receive your choice of the following:

  • A $10 gift card ($25 gift card for double red)

Public Service Careers Expo today

The LLCC Career Center is hosting a Public Service Careers Expo today from 9 a.m. to noon in A. Lincoln Commons. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to explore careers in the public sector, with representatives from 20 state agencies and several local and federal agencies in attendance. This is a casual, exploratory event where students can learn about job opportunities in public service, meet professionals from various government agencies and ask questions about potential career paths. While students are not expected to dress formally or bring a resume, they are welcome to do so if they wish.

We believe this event will be valuable for students, whether they are just starting to think about their career paths or are more certain of their future plans in public service. Please consider sharing this information with your students and encouraging them to attend.
