Elizabeth Fines-Workman is approaching one year in charge of Lincoln Land Community College’s Taylorville campus.  In that time, the campus has welcomed in area youth for tours and hosted camps and professional development seminars.  In addition, the facility continues to be the regular site for a selection of courses, including some for high school students in the College Now program.  Fines-Workman says she hopes to see enrollment among traditional students grow in the coming years. 

One of the accomplishments of which she has been most proud is hosting tours for fourth- and eighth-grade students.  She says it’s a way to give back to the community.

Fines-Workman has also looked to increase the campus’s outreach to the community and schools.  She hopes to continue this and also feature other local businesses. 

Fines-Workman shares what inspired her to pursue and take on the role as campus director: Her late grandmother went back to school at the age of 58 to pursue a teaching certificate.
