Thinking of everyone affected by yesterday’s storms! This event is still happening for anyone looking for an excuse to enjoy a walk and fun events today!

Our Juneteenth Celebration is still happening TODAY in the Luther Student Center from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Come by for games, giveaways, a black-owned business fair, a crowd magic performance, an authentic hair and fashion show and much more!

Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in a "walk for freedom." Walking paths across campus are available, including indoor and wheel-accessible options. The Mattoon Rotary Club will also donate $10 for every mile walked up to $1,000 to support Lake Land students!

We will also be giving out bottled water during the event to help anyone still without power from the storms.

Happy Laker Day!

Last Year, the City of Mattoon declared June 17 as Lake Land College Laker Day in celebration of the historic seasons from our baseball and softball teams!

We're so proud of what these teams accomplished, and we're thankful for all our former, current and future Lakers!

Congratulations, Laci! We are so proud of our LLC Grads!

GRADUATE SPOTLIGHT: Congrats to Laci Harden! She shared that she went back to school for her medical coding certificate! She says she wanted to show her little man that his momma could do it! Next she is going for her associates degree, and she hopes to inspire more people to go back to school. After all, it's never too late and you can do it, too! She says she balanced working full time, going to school full time and being a single mother! Way to go!
