Reminder: BSU Fest 2024 is coming soon! 

Black Student Union Fest 2024 is happening on April 19, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is an invitation for those who have not already signed up. The student club was awarded a $2,500 LLCC IDI grant to host BSU Fest 2024, which is a special event that connects the LLCC black community to incoming LLCC students. It features various activities, workshops and speakers that highlight the supportive community LLCC has to offer for its black students. 
 
We need black volunteers to have lunch with the students and share insights and advice. This is a valuable opportunity to show them the possibilities and opportunities at LLCC. 
 
If you have not signed up, there is still time. Please reach out to brandon.lewis@llcc.edu by March 31 with your name, department and availability. 

HONORS PROGRAM STUDENT CLUB FUNDRAISER: PIE A PROFESSOR

If you want to pie a colleague, now is the opportunity! Several faculty members have signed on to take whipped cream pies to the face on April 1. Funds raised will benefit the activities of the Honors Program Student Club.

Any time this week, bring money to the LLCC Student Life office (lower level Menard Hall) and you can direct it to the professor of your choosing (or multiple!). It’s $2 per ticket or $5 for 5 (cash/check only). If $500 if raised this week, every participating professor will be pied on April 1. If that amount isn’t raised, the professor who raised the most in each department will be pied.

Participating faculty are: Chris McDonald, Ted Babin, Beth Wiediger, Karen Sisk, Gillian Bauer, Tim McKenzie, Corrine Hinton, Thom Whalen, Jason Waddell, Matthew Griffin, Bill Harmon, David Cox, Tony Rothering, Brent Todd, Janelle Murphy, Sonja Spencer, Chris Tople, Carmen Allen, Christina Negley and Scott Searcy.
