For commuters, they must balance their time between classes, on-campus activities and driving home. With resources like the commuter lounge, morning rush hours and commuter socials, LVC provides many resources to bridge this gap between campus and home.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel that they provide a good workspace for commuters,\u201d Mason Haldeman, a first-year audio and music production major and commuter student, said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because commuters make up about 25 percent of the student population, LVC recognizes how important it is to provide them with the resources they need to succeed. LVC is constantly adapting to the changing needs of commuters by listening to their concerns and finding ways to better provide for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf there\u2019s concerns that they bring to us, just trying to make sure we\u2019re working as best we can to resolve those issues and provide opportunities for them to be engaged on campus,\u201d Jennifer Evans, director for student engagement, said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commuter students often lose opportunities that are readily available to residential students. To combat this, LVC provides various areas where they can do work and the commuter lounge for meal needs and a place to relax.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[We are] trying to make sure they know they have a place to go in between classes,\u201d Evans said. \u201cSo just trying to make sure they know that they are welcome here. We want them to feel like they\u2019re getting to meet people.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With events like commuter socials and morning rush hours, LVC provides many ways for commuters to connect at a time that works for them to get them involved on campus and further the feeling of community LVC strives for.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By Eliana Shenk &#8217;24, staff writer The new academic year has begun, and LVC continues to provide a variety of resources for its commuter students.&nbsp; College life presents many different challenges and opportunities for students, <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/2022\/09\/26\/commuter-guide-to-lvc-resources\/\" title=\"Commuter guide to LVC resources\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8418,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8387","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-campus-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
