Lincoln Land Community College is promoting new programs and opportunities for students starting this summer and fall.  It comes just as students register for courses in these upcoming terms.  Dee Krueger, Director of LLCC’s Taylorville campus, describes the additions.  They include a new science course along with special technology for synchronous remote learning in a physical classroom.

Another new offering is called Connect to Healthcare.  The course is available starting this summer and fall.  It allows students interested in the healthcare field to learn more about it.  Students will be able to shadow professionals in any of several specialties. 

Krueger also highlights a program for high school students called College Now.  It allows high school students to take college level courses.  The program is designed not only to help students progress towards or even earn an Associate’s Degree while in high school, but also to prepare students for what to expect in higher education.  Three students in the Regional Radio listening area have completed the program.

LLCC is now preparing to celebrate this year’s class of graduates.  The Spring commencement will take place on Friday, May 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bank of Springfield Center.
