Student Well Being Mental Health Task Force Update

The Student Well Being Mental Health Task Force has been working hard this summer on creating a Mental Health Resources Canvas shell! This shell will be available to all students and faculty at the start of the fall semester. The goal of this canvas shell is to provide mental health resources and information that are easily accessible to all students.

The task force has also been discussing the possibility of combining wellness services.

If you have any questions or suggestions on resources to be included in the Canvas shell, please contact Kellee Phillips, student care coordinator at kellee.phillips@llcc.edu or 217-786-2409.

Thank a coworker in style

New LLCC thank you card.PRM has brand new thank you cards for you to use. The cards are sitting right inside the PRM office on a shelf. Stop in and grab one any time the PRM office is open. We’re located in Menard Hall, next to the president’s office.

If you would like to recognize a larger group or department, submit the information for a LincIn post. Include a photo, if you are able.

If someone has gone above and beyond their job responsibilities, you can nominate them at any time to be included in the next KUDOS (Key or Unique Demonstrations of Outstanding Service) award announcement.
