Learning Support Services Receives the GOLD STAR AWARD, By Tina Lee





It is my pleasure to announce that Learning Support Services (LSS) is this week’s recipient of the Gold Star Award.   The prestigious HCC Gold Star Award was created by the Employee Welfare Committee to award an outstanding employee or team who has gone beyond the call of duty in performing duties.


LSS is a key component in the success of many HCC students.  I feel as though there is not one person that makes the LSS so successful, as it takes the LSS team to keep the LSS running smoothly each and every day.  So, today, I handed the Gold Star Award over to the LSS Team of Margaret Studenc, Susan Roberts, Kim Carver, and Melanie Lewis for this week.  Please congratulate these beautiful ladies when you see them this week.  After enjoying their week with the Gold Star Award, they will deliver it to another worthy recipient next Monday. 


Earth Day Celebration




This year Learning Support Services participated in HCC's Earth Day celebration. We met with students at our table displaying how we are sustainable. We do more than tutor and test. Our staff understands the responsibility we have as role models and as a team we are passionate about sustainability. As a result, we pursued and received a mini-grant to purchase a clearly designated trash and recycling center in our tutoring room. We have also begun moving workshops and tutoring to the web. Check us out!
We recycle paper, plastic and batteries. We have recycled close to 75 pounds of batteries over the past year.
