Dear LCC Students,

I hope your Fall Term is off to a strong start! As the Vice President of Academic Affairs, I am responsible for academic programming at the College. I have the privilege of working closely with your instructors and deans in order to make sure that the college provides meaningful learning experiences for students. Your feedback about your experience is incredibly important to me. I use the information you provide to work with faculty, deans, and staff to develop new and refined ideas that will better serve our students.

If you have not already, please complete the survey sent to your student email account. In addition to providing high-quality data that can be used for making improvements, credit students who complete the survey will be entered into a random drawing for one 3-credit waiver for the Winter 2024 term, with 10 waivers total to be selected during the drawing.

Thank you for your participation!

Dr. Shelley Tinkham,
Vice President of Academic Affairs
