A new semester is well underway now at Lincoln Land Community College, and classes at Taylorville’s campus are happening with a new campus director overseeing it all.  Elizabeth Fines Workman took charge over the summer and has witnessed plenty of excitement from students for the new term and new leadership.  Despite the changes at the top, their general outreach strategy remains unchanged, at least for now.  Prospective students can take part in the community college’s visit days, and those currently in the workforce can benefit from programs like their Essential Workplace Skills series. 

Fines Workman is planning events and activities to further connect herself and other members of leadership with the student body.  They include “snack days” and visits from administrators at other campuses.

LLCC will still hold its visit days for prospective students.  The next one is scheduled for October 13 on the main campus.

As mentioned, this is the first semester for Fines Workman at the helm of the Taylorville campus.  She continues to teach one course, but her new role has provided her a clearer perspective on the atmosphere of the campus as a whole. 

This is also the first semester with the new RISE technology in classrooms.  This setup uses microphones and cameras across the room to allow students and instructors both in the classroom and elsewhere to easily interact verbally.  Fines Workman says the technology is working well so far.
