It is time for the yearly campus climate survey.
Each year, LVC’s president assesses the campus’ climate and presents the results. This year, the event will take place Thursday, March 24, at 7 p.m. on Zoom. President James MacLaren and Dr. Felicia Brown-Haywood, associate vice president of diversity, equity, inclusion and institutional success will discuss the results, campus needs and next steps.
President MacLaren also announced there was a noticeable uptick in inappropriate Yik Yak posts targeting individuals and marginalized groups of students. Yik Yak is an app that allows users to anonymously post and view discussion threads within a five-mile radius. He encouraged all students to treat individuals with respect, in line with the positive progress LVC has made recently.
Those who witness or experience a bias incident should report it here if they feel comfortable doing so. Additionally, counseling services are available at counselingservices@lvc.edu. For personal support or a listening ear, Annesha Edwards-Carter, director of diversity, equity, inclusion and intercultural affairs, can be reached at aedwards@lvc.edu.
