For operational efficiency, beginning Aug. 1, 2017, use of the LLCC Fitness Center will be available to LLCC students enrolled in physical conditioning classes, students in athletic programs, and LLCC faculty and staff who have paid the user fee. The Fitness Center will no longer be open to the public.

Hours of operation may vary from semester to semester in order to accommodate classes. Hours will be posted at the beginning of each semester in LincIn and at the Fitness Center entry. For the time being, there will be no open sessions in Cass Gym. Alternatives are being explored for future semesters.

Faculty and staff wishing to use the Fitness Center will sign up each semester through Registration as usual. Also, in December, employees may sign up for a yearlong membership through the Human Resources office.

If you have not yet seen “Chasing Dr. Who,” a photography exhibit by Christine Samoore, you can do so through June 29 in the James S. Murray Gallery, located on the second floor of Menard Hall. The photos feature landmarks from the British show, “Dr. Who,” and also serve as individual studies of architecture and composition. Samoore is co-owner of Prairie Custom Frames in Springfield, and you can often find her interpreting in American Sign Language in classrooms at LLCC.

The deadline to submit your deposits to the finance department is Wednesday, June 28, by noon! Please hand the deposits to Elyse Calhoun, Libby Elder or Robin Ackman as monies should not be left unattended.
