Multiple Measures/College Connecting Courses

This semester, the General Studies division is offering several sections of the College Connecting Courses in online and in-person delivery modes. Overall, 66 students registered for at least one of the courses. As the semester progresses, enrollments may increase in the Just-in-Time courses, which were designed to provide supplemental academic support to students as they need it throughout the semester.

The project team will spend time this month learning more about what is going well and what improvements are needed.

Lastly, Marketing has finalized a resource document that will be used by both the Admissions and Program Counseling teams. The document showcases for students how the College Connecting Courses fit into the overall college experience to support their success. It will also include the schedule of courses for the next semester so that students’ academic plans can be proactively created with these courses in mind. Here is a sample of the resource document.

Excitement Grows for Associate of Arts & Associate of Science Degrees

As we start our second official term in the Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degree programs, excitement is building as there are now 14 students enrolled between the two programs. This is a significant growth from six enrollments in fall. The programs will only grow from here.

As we look to the 2023-2024 academic year, new course offerings will be in place including: English Composition

2; Introduction to Literature; General Biology; Race, Class, and Gender; and Spanish 1 and 2.

Faculty continue to be excited for new courses and students with a focus on the sciences and humanities, as well as learning more about a wide array of business areas through the taking of electives. Our General Studies and Business and Technology divisions are excited to continue watching the growth of these programs

College Culture Study Underway

Lakeshore is partnering with the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium (HEDS) to launch our second College Culture Study. This brief survey is designed to gather feedback about your Lakeshore experience as it relates to access, equity, and inclusion.

The 2021 Culture Survey inspired us to rebuild the Lakeshore Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Advisory Council, expand college-wide diversity and inclusion training opportunities, and amplify student voices as we aim to eliminate equity gaps and foster a culture of inclusion at Lakeshore. We need your participation this year to hear about your experience, benchmark our progress, and refine our strategies.

Student Spotlight: 548 Named to Fall Dean’s List

Fall semester proved to be very successful for many of our students, with 548 making the Dean’s List! To be named to the list, students must have completed six or more term credits and earned a GPA of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. To earn Presidential Honors, a student needs to achieve a perfect 4.0 GPA; 310 students accomplished that.

These students were successful not only due to their efforts, but also the high quality of instruction and support we provided to them each day. Thanks to all team members for your hard work and dedication to student success.

A complete list of students making the fall Dean’s List can be found at gotoltc. edu/about/news-and-events.

Interim VP of Instruction tanya.boman@gotoltc.edu

All employees and students enrolled in undergraduate classes have received a unique survey link in their Lakeshore email. Responses to the survey go directly to HEDS where the data is analyzed to develop a snapshot of student and staff perceptions of Lakeshore’s support for diversity and equity, concerns about possible harassment or discrimination, and insight on the general college culture. Upon completion of the survey, HEDS will compile reports that exclude identifying information and other variables that may be used to identify respondents such as name, email address, IP address, etc. Moreover, they will combine response options into broader categories to maintain anonymity of all who participate.

Fifteen minutes of your time can make a real difference at Lakeshore, but your link is only valid until March 20, 2023. Please click on your unique survey link today.
