Happy Fall Semester 2020! It's a semester unlike any other. Campuses look and feel a bit different with social-distancing, face masks, additional cleaning supplies, additional signage, and many other health and safety measures in place to help keep our campus community as safe as possible. Many have put in countless hours to help prepare us for the start of Fall Semester, and it's working! You can feel the excitement in the air these past couple of weeks. Thanks for everything you're doing to help keep yourself and others safe as we work to stop the spread of COVID-19 while we still deliver a quality education and experience for our students. We're thrilled to welcome students back to campus, and we're excited to resume the newsplash. Check out these great pictures from Welcome Week. |

Upcoming Events and
Campus Updates
- With the start of Fall Semester, there is an increasing number of students seeking emergency grants and/or loans from the LSC Foundation. There's also increased demand in the LSC Food Shelf, and supplies are running low. If you're able, will you please consider donating to the Foundation and/or donating non-perishable and non-expired food items? Donations can be made online (please write in the notes how you'd like your funds to be used. For example, you can write "food shelf" and your contribution will be dedicated there. Otherwise, it goes into the Greatest Need Fund which can be used where it's needed most which can include grants, loans, food shelf, scholarships and more) and food items can be dropped off in Student Life. Thank you for helping support our students! Any questions? Email foundation@lsc.edu.
- The Eco-Entrepreneurship Department will sell fresh produce every Tuesday and Thursday, 1:30 - 4:00 p.m., in the LSC Commons.
