Affordable Care Act update ...
|
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were not able to have your form 1095-C in your hands Jan. 31, as we had planned. We have been held up by updates from Ellucian, who are working to keep up with the changes in
requirements -- the updates have been made available and we are now moving forward.
It is not necessary to wait for your 1095-C to file your taxes; if you wish to get
right on it, you may do so. See the IRS website: Questions and Answers about Health Care Information Forms
Human Resources, Accounting and Payroll are all working diligently on getting the
1095-C to you as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding and patience!

Follow-up procedural tip from VPSS Judy Hay
|
As a quick follow-up to the online Workplace Harassment training, it's important also
to look internally to our own policies and procedures to make sure we keep in mind
our responsibilities that are detailed there. We recommend everyone take a few minutes
to review Human Resources Procedure 6.3P. This is the Procedure dealing with Sexual Misconduct, which outlines what must happen
in the event of sexual misconduct.
Please pay special notice to Section 5.0, which is specific to who must report any
incidents they are made aware of:
- All members of the LCCC community, including students, staff, faculty members, contractors
and campus visitors, are required to report acts of discrimination and sexual misconduct.
It is preferred, but may not be likely in all cases of reporting, that the first report
is made to the Title IX Coordinator (VPSS Judy Hay) and/or HR (EDHR Tammy Maas). In
the event the report is made to another LCCC representative, the institution is formally
on notice and it is imperative that these individuals report to the Title IX Coordinator
immediately.
All employees, except health professionals and those covered by statute (e.g., licensed
mental health counselors, clergy, etc.) must report sexual misconduct within 24 hours
to the Title IX Coordinator regardless of whether or not a formal complaint was filed.

People matter...
|
This month we would like to highlight part-time employee and student, Tyler Espinosa.
Tyler has taken a different path through life than most of his fellow employees and
students. This path has brought him to realize “it is never too late” to get on the
right path in life.
As a young man making good money in the wind energy field, he found himself facing
prison time after making some unwise choices.
After serving time, he attended ACES and graduated with his High School Equivalency
Certificate (HSEC) last year. As a student, Tyler was exemplary in his motivation
to achieve success.
He encouraged his fellow students and spent extra time with his peers to ensure they
were understanding the material that was presented to them.
|

|
|
|
One of the things that stood out to the ACES staff was the dedication that Tyler had
to his education. He did not allow barriers to get in his way. Most days he either
rode his bike or walked seven miles to campus. He is the first one in his family to
attend college.
ACES encourages students to continue their education beyond their HSEC. Many college
programs present to the ACES during our class sessions. After a presentation by Sam
Graham, Tyler was drawn to the welding program. He started credit classes at LCCC
last spring and entered the Welding program this fall. He credits his instructor,
Sam Graham, with pushing people to their fullest potential.
Tyler was hired as an Instructional Assistant in the Adult Career and Education System
(ACES) program in September 2015. As an Instructional Assistant, Tyler works 4 evenings
a week in the Adult Basic Education (ABE) classroom. He also provides assistance to
the English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) class when needed.
|
|
|
|
He provides support to the instructors by helping students with math, language, and
basic computer skills.
Tyler completes any projects that the instructors need help with, from collating curriculum,
scoring practice tests, helping students with assignments, assisting them with computer
programs, and straightening up the classroom.
His supervisor, Kelly Willmarth shares, “As a former student, Tyler has the intuition
to know what students need. Whenever I visit the classroom, he is working with students.
Students look up to Tyler as a peer. He has been in their shoes and encourages them
to be their best.”
Tyler credits instructors Dawn Jung and Adam Winn for motivating him to succeed in
the ACES program. He also credits James Miller, who taught his COLS 1000 class and
Dusty Day, who taught public speaking, for pushing him further in life.
Congratulations to Tyler on all his successes – we are proud to be a part of his journey,
and hope it continues on!
