AGENDA ITEM II.A
Registration events and New Student Orientations the week prior to the start of the semester.

Several employees; Police Chief Gentry, Officer Hansen and Vice President Frederick have taken part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on the main campus. Although higher than anticipated, LLCC’s credit hour enrollment is currently down 5%. Considering this decrease, LLCC appears to be above the state average, which mirrors a nationwide enrollment trend. LLCC’s Surgical Technology Program received the Annual Merit Award from the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) by achieving a 100% pass rate on the Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) examination over the last year. United States Senator Dick Durbin held a roundtable discussion/news conference August 8 on LLCC’s main campus, calling attention to student loan debt and questionable practices of some for-profit colleges, while noting the affordability and quality education provided by community colleges. Participants included; Dawn Thompson, a current online student at a for-profit college with a tremendous student loan debt, Dr. Warren, Dr. Hunter-Anderson, Deborah Hagan, and Dev Gowda. Dr. Warren was honored to be the Keynote Speaker at the Army Cooks School Graduation Ceremony on August 21. The Army Cooks School is a four week program, with the first eight days conducted in the Culinary and Baking Labs located in LLCC’s Workforce Careers Center. LLCC’s Culinary Institute has announced its fall schedule of non-credit food and wine classes which include; cook and dine courses, special cooking topics, and Bistro Verde dinners.
