Today is the deadline to sign up for the Early Alert Initiative
Calling All Faculty:
It’s time to sign up to participate in the Early Alert program for the fall semester! Early Alert is a campus-wide initiative designed to identify students who may be experiencing challenges that impact their academic performance.
The Early Alert program consists of five outreach campaigns: three campaigns for 16-week classes and one campaign for eight-week classes. During the campaign, faculty can indicate concerns or kudos for each student. The goals are to work with students who may need additional support and celebrate those who are doing well. Students and success coaches will be notified via email. Success Coaches will follow up with each student, note the outcomes of their outreach, and eventually close the alert. Faculty will be able to view the outcomes. This process reinforces faculty messaging and enhances communications among faculty, students, and success coaches.
If you are interested in participating in this initiative, please submit the Early Alert Participation Form by Friday, Aug. 30, 2024. Please contact Amanda Turner, director of student success, with questions.

Beyond Conversation: An Action-Centered Approach to Diversity and Inclusion in the Classroom
Thursday, Aug. 29, 1-2:30 p.m. in Sangamon Hall, Room 1102 or on Teams.
How can educators ensure that activities centered on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the classroom are meaningful for students? It’s important that these activities don’t just check a box. Students should be provided meaningful experiences to help them develop into thoughtful citizens. This session highlights Madisonville Community College’s approach to DEI in the classroom, blended with a Student Learning Outcome process and action research. Through this process, instructors from a wide range of disciplines (i.e., general education, technical programs, health programs) have incorporated DEI into the classroom in meaningful and measurable ways.
Register online for Beyond Conversation.
Note: This workshop will begin with a viewing of a live webinar in Sangamon Hall 1102 from 1-2 p.m., followed by a discussion led by LLCC faculty from 2-3 p.m. Those who attend both parts in-person will receive 2 points. Those who attend only the discussion in-person or on Teams will be awarded 1 point.
Watch for the complete fall 2024 schedule, coming very soon.
