LLCC participated in the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) last spring. IRE will host two CCSSE discussions of our results. A student services focus will take place today, Nov. 7, from 2-3 p.m. The academic services focus is scheduled for Nov. 13, 3:30-4:30 p.m. Both events will be held in Menard Hall, Room 2268 and are open to everyone at the college.
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.
