Mrs. Birdsong taught us to believe in ourselves and be the best nurses we can be. She took so much time out of her life to make sure we were prepared and understood the material.

Kristine Marler is Making a Difference
Great teacher. Always happy to help. Jacklyn Beckman

He was a great coach and helped me get on track to graduating. Bria Walker

She was a wonderful instructor that was very concerned with all of her students graduating and doing well! She was also always there for me anytime I needed someone to talk to.

Dion Buzzard is Making a Difference
He knew when someone didn't understand and would go over it again. Daniel Lopez

Brenda Hunzinger is Making a Difference
Her hybrid online/lab class was great. I think that all of the online courses should be set up like hers. I learned and retained so much from the way she has her course set up. I've taken many online courses and hers was very well prepared and geared toward the actual course. She is very much an asset to LLC. Lisa Blair

She helped me learn what I need to know for the cosmetology industry and gave me the confidence to set out and do it. Cheyenne Devore

Mark Niemerg is Making a Difference
I liked his classes the most and learned the most from them. Austin Simmons

First semester was difficult with switching teachers, clinical instructors, back and forth. Second semester was difficult, too, starting on newer, harder material with Mrs. Dow for a few weeks, then Mrs. Birdsong and Mrs. Beam switching and essentially tag-teaming the teaching of our class on campus. I will never forget that day in lab with Mrs. Birdsong the day she took over. We had just taken an OB test that didn't go very well for us. She played us a video from a college graduation. It was a very uplifting speech the man delivered. After the video had us all basically in tears, Mrs. Birdsong had an equally uplifting and tearful speech to give to us. Between the video and Mrs. Birdsong, we all got one piece of advice: Just. Keep. Going. One test doesn't define you as a student. One test will not define your future career. We are exceptional people who have fought hard to be where we are and need to pick our sorry heads up and continue that fight. It got me through the semester. It was that day we all knew we got someone who was invested in us as we were in being here. Wyatt Lewis

Allen Drake is Making a Difference
Allen had helped me get into the program when the dealership did not want anymore tech students. He also helped me when I had trouble and answered any questions I had. He also made sure that I got to graduate and did not let me just quit. Alexander Stirek

Scott Rhine challenged me intellectually to think outside the box by showing me what can be done with the knowledge I am acquiring. Thomas Dison

Marko Mohlenhoff is Making a Difference
Marko is very dedicated to the TRiO program and to the students that are in the program. He is a fine addition to the college. He contributes so much to the students and the college and has made the relationship between the students and the college so much stronger. He is still working on making improvements anywhere that he can to benefit both students and the college. I would like to recognize him for all of the effort that he puts into it and all of the good that comes out of it. I give Marko credit for me making it all the way to the end. He gave of his time unselfishly and became my rock through the good times and the rough times. I could come to him with anything that I was having a problem with and he would work feverishly trying to help me find a solution. He gave me a lot of good advice, and he encouraged me all the way. I have never had the support of my family in pursuing my dream of getting an education, and Marko made the biggest difference in my life by being my biggest fan. I wish that I could nominate him for man of the year, or better yet, hero of the year because that is what he has been to me. He gave me that extra little push that I needed and now I can proudly say that I am going to graduate. Julia Fasking

She was extremely helpful at helping learn at my own pace. She was always enthusiastic and prepared for class. Rachel Hubbartt

Helen Hendren is Making a Difference
Helen was caring, and she believed in all her students. She was helpful and passionate about her job. Summer Cusick

Ed Thomas is Making a Difference
Ed Thomas' Intro to Speech class was very structured. He made sure that students were on time and that way there weren't any interruptions. Ed always showed up to class with enthusiasm and was prepared. He didn't use slides. He taught class out of the book. He was very encouraging in speech writing. Ed made me realize how much I love giving speeches, so much that I chose to change my major to Speech Communications. Steven Brown

Mrs. Hunzinger was my instructor for Biology 101. My first attempt at this course was in August I was highly UNsuccessful at it and had absolutely NO desire to take it again. Twenty years later, I'm currently enrolled in this course, and I actually enjoy it. Her style of teaching is engaging and causes you to want to know more about the subject. I'm not just memorizing the material, I'm learning it. That makes all of the difference in the world. Shelissa Jones

Brian Lynch is Making a Difference
Mr. Lynch was my Economics I instructor in Spring I appreciate his lesson plan structure and style of teaching. He is very thorough and also goes the extra mile to ensure students are understanding the material and getting the most out of his course. I will be taking Econ II this fall for my last semester at Lake Land College and am looking forward to it. Shelissa Jones

Maria Nohren is Making a Difference
Mrs. Nohren is very through when explaining a rationale. Shawna Ohl

Kim Davis is Making a Difference
She helped me get on the right track in my schooling. She quickly discovered what was a better "fit" for me as an academic advisor. Any time students need guidance in their education or career, students can always count on her with the best advice. She is a great asset to the Future Educators Association (FEA) Club as she give her students a plethora of career-related experiences. Sarah Rhoads

Heather Nohren is Making a Difference
She is a great counselor that answered all the questions I had about any degree or certificate that I wanted to learn more about. Sara Headrick

Helen was always there for support both morally and intellectually. She is full of knowledge and has helped out greatly in my time spent at Lake Land. Lindsy Wolke

She made a difference for me because she was an amazing help when it came to chemistry. I think for it being her first year teaching that she did an amazing job. Jessica Cloe

Cathy Bunton is Making a Difference
As my previous advisor and one of my teachers, Cathy had an outgoing and overall great spirit and always made me think outside of the box to explore new boundaries in and out of the classroom. My personal communication skills improved dramatically from attending her class. She will always be one of my favorite teachers and a good friend outside of Lake Land. Austin Ashworth

Eva Ritchey is Making a Difference
I took a speech class with Eva Ritchey as my instructor. She made such a difference by her positive, outgoing, confident, and caring attitude. I strive to have the attitude that she does. The thing that I took most from this class was not how to give a speech, which I did learn how to do quite well, but how to present myself and how important having a great attitude is. How you think and act has a huge influence on you and everyone around you. Audrey Scott

In my academic years, Mr. Heuerman was very helpful, professional, and knowledgeable with all the problems that life threw at me when it came to impacting my school outlook. Gayle Hays

Tatum Hawkins is Making a Difference

She is the best instructor that I have had at Lake Land. When I needed her, she went beyond what was expected and has helped me along my college career. Shanah Franklin

While still teaching coursework at a proper level for college students, Brenda made her classes fun and always did what she could to make sure everybody understood what was being taught. In addition, I appreciated the kindness that she showed to myself and other students on a daily basis. To make a long story short, teachers like Brenda are the people who make students want to come to school every day. Alex Jobe

Mr. Brian Lynch always made an effort in trying to help me succeed. He always encouraged me and was available whenever I needed him. He was friendly and easy to approach, which made seeking help a lot easier. I enjoyed all my classes with Mr. Lynch and would recommend him to anyone. Kristina Pollman

After many years of being out of school I decided to go back. Mrs. Hunzinger was one of the first teachers that I had and made things very easy and very workable. She made me feel more comfortable with my degree choice (as for a short time she was my advisor) and helped me work towards that goal. More than anything she made classes interesting and challenging, creating a great environment for her students. Justin Click

Cindy Phipps is Making a Difference
She answered any question I have ever had. She was available most of the time when I needed to ask a question. Throughout all of my classes, Ms. Phipps explained all of the problems thoroughly. Sierra Toner

Maria Nohren is Making a Difference
Maria always went above and beyond to ensure that I understood the materials studied. She had an open door policy and was always encouraging me to put forth my best effort. Kathleen Good

Tiffany Gibson is Making a Difference She made labs enjoyable and fun.
Rachel Hager

Mr. Capitosti is one instructor I will never forget. I could not imagine anybody making chemistry enjoyable but that is his forte. When I struggled in chemistry, he always devoted his time to answering any questions I had and would even pull up my canvas quizzes to run through how to answer the questions properly. His drill sergeant style of lecturing encouraged me to keep going and to take chemistry seriously. He is the most dedicated professor I have had and his teaching ability/style is one of the many reason I enjoyed Chem II. Sarah Mummel

Nancy Grant is Making a Difference
Nancy became my mentor after my first class with her and within one year I exhausted all possible classes taught by her. She was the first one that made me aware of environmental hazards faced today and because of this, my lifestyle is not the same as it was two years ago. This year she has been kind enough to offer me a job in the backroom as a chemistry lab assistant and now potentially as a biology lab assistant. As I come to a close, I want to end with a quote she told me recently. "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." I will never forget this quote and will apply it to all endeavors within my field of study. Nancy has affected my life, and I will never forget her. Sarah Mummel

John Carpenter is Making a Difference Great advisor. Very detailed.
Roger Smith

While taking his classes, I learned a great amount about my major. I feel this will be very helpful as I move on within the criminal justice field. Kyle Matthews

Ben Cohan is Making a Difference He made Art History really fun!
Rachel Hubbartt

Angie Davison is Making a Difference Very nice and helpful!
Cassandra Weddle

Lara Bacino is Making a Difference
I absolutely loved going to her classes. Lara just made class so fun and relatable. She was so passionate about psych that it was interesting to learn. I have fallen in love with psychology, and I credit that to her because she was such a great teacher! You can see that she truly loves her students and is just down to earth and up front with us. I think that is part of being a teacher. If students can't relate to you on some level, then I think they have a harder time learning from you. She might not remember me, but I'll definitely remember her! Kalen Pennington

Great instructor. Taught me a lot and allowed me to enter the world of law enforcement by providing me with an internship at Mattoon police department. Jose Hernandez

Lisa Earp is Making a Difference
I was in her Automated Office Procedures class in the Spring of 2015, and she really showed us how to work in a real working environment. It really opened my eyes to how much problems could arise in the office, and really taught you how to work in a team environment. She was my favorite instructor! Miranda Bricker

Ben Cohan is Making a Difference
Ben prepared me very well for transferring. With some aspects, I was ahead of my classmates at EIU. Shelby Phipps

Heather has helped me in so many ways. Heather has been working with me since I was a sophomore in high school and has been so helpful and easy to work with. She made sure I was on the right track and had all the classes I needed in order to get my Business Administration degree. She helped set up a plan for me that would work with my schedule and always made sure I got into the classes I needed to. She is a wonderful person, and I'm so thankful that I got the chance to work with her through the years. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for her helping me get started on this process! Thank you, Heather! Molly Yockey

Tom Caldwell is Making a Difference Rachel Finney
Tom is a wonderful example of someone who is quite well-rounded. His interests range from forestry to the Life Sciences to the fine arts to music to film and on and on. His background in the military is yet another aspect of his fascinating personality. He is anything but one-dimensional. Thanks to Tom, I was able to spend time working on the Tree-Care-Committee, and he has utilized his connections to people in Carbondale to introduce me to forestry societies that will be invaluable to me for business connections and field experience. Also, people from the IDNR and the Corps of Engineers seem to know Mr. Caldwell very well, which speaks volumes of how many activities, organizations, research projects, etc. that he is involved in all over the state of Illinois outside of work. This ambitious, brilliant, amicable, and charismatic man has affected so many different people in so many positive ways. He is without a doubt a great asset to Lake Land College. Rachel Finney

Brenda Hunzinger is Making a Difference Rachel Finney
Brenda was incredibly supportive - emotionally and academically - throughout my experience at LLC. She is charismatic, passionate about the Life Sciences, and engaging with all of her students. She always made sure to relate the material to real-life applications and all of the content was available online - via powerpoint presentations as well as video lectures that incorporated the powerpoint presentations; such resources cater to different learning types. The video lectures helped the material to resonate even more for me. It's because of instructors like Mrs. Hunzinger that students develop a strong interest in the Life Sciences, and for those who have already chosen that path, their passion is further amplified. Whenever I ran into problems with my work for the Corps of Engineers or had questions about the content in her class, her door was always open. Her high level of intellect, strength, positive attitude, and passion for life itself continues to inspire me every single day. Also, for women who strive to work in STEM fields, Brenda is a wonderful role model. Her work at Lake Land College is truly invaluable. Rachel Finney

Judy Bennett is Making a Difference
She was my Comp 1 teacher who made understanding difficult material easier. She also helped me by understanding why I choose to study another field and help me pursue in that field. She was always there to talk to about school or work related conflicts. Dustin Lowry

Ikemefuna Nwosu is Making a Difference
I took Ikemefuna for Microbiology and he was difficult teacher, but he knew what he was talking about. I remember the most information that I was taught in his class throughout my experience at Lake Land College. He did not only influenced me in Microbiology, but also in life in general. Autumn Potter

John Gentry is Making a Difference
Opened my mind to a lot of new things in a subject I had hit a brick wall in so to speak. Matthew Edwards

Kathleen Daugherty is Making a Difference
She believes in every student. She encourages us and never puts us down. She always takes time with her students. She does go by the book but she always goes above and beyond to help her students succeed. It would have been easy to drop her classes when I was struggling. If I dropped her classes, I would have dropped out because I needed them. I talked to Kathleen, and she believed in me and encouraged me to keep pressing on. I did, and I am just about to graduate. She is the best teacher I have had in college. Linda Hood

Teresa Lang is Making a Difference
She is a great person to have around and have as an advisor. Nicole Waller

He always made himself available for help and questions that I would have and never made me feel like my questions were elementary. He was not an "easy" professor by any means, but he was able to present the material in such a way that I was able to relate Microbiology to real life situations. I feel like his class has prepared me for the difficulty level that I will face when I get into nursing school. Overall, he is a fabulous teacher, and I am truly blessed that I was able to take his class. Keri Clapp

Charles Jarrell is Making a Difference
He was my Intro to Education teacher and the division chair for Social Science. He always went above and beyond for his students and made sure that they were getting the most out of the education as possible. When a lot of classes got cancelled this semester, he worked with me and got me into another class that I normally couldn't just so I could get the class in and graduate on time. Most teachers wouldn't do that for students, but he genuinely cares. Megan Cress

Salisa Olmstead is Making a Difference
She was a great instructor. She went above and beyond her job. I learned a lot in her class and believe she really cares about her students. Shannon Babiarz-Culler

David Chambers is Making a Difference
He was very nice and understanding. He helps his students better understand the material/work. Also, he answers every question in detail. Furthermore, he responds back to s quickly as well as does not only act like your professor, but a friend too, which can be helpful. All in all, I recommend taking one of his classes! Jessica Uselman

Emily Buhnerkempe is Making a Difference Best teacher I ever had.
Brian Mounce

Excellent listener, very helpful with ambiguities of life planning. Christian Brewster

Jan Storm is Making a Difference
Jan is the receptionist for Cosmetology, and she is so wonderful at her job. She certainly makes a huge positive impact on the department, and I thank her for all that she does. She certainly cares about her job and students. For example, if there was something going on with me, she would ALWAYS check in on me and make sure that I knew she was thinking of me, which shows me she cares so much. She is genuinely a very wonderful, respectful woman and deserves some recognition. I will miss her dearly. Natasha Martin

Shane Rogers is Making a Difference
I almost certainly would not be able to graduate this semester without him and likely would not still be here. He was willing to help me with any problem at any time and was a very agreeable person. I only wish I could find the right way to thank him. Daniel Spires

Andrea Bright is Making a Difference
She helped me have a better understanding of what I could do with my degree. Trisha Warman

I feel like she has made a difference of how I look at chemistry now. I used to not really like the class in high school but loved it in college. Olivia Oakley

She goes above and beyond for her students day in and day out by being there for them. She is a positive influence and is very knowledgeable on anything you ask questions on. Jeanna Shull

I spent a year taking one class just to keep in the school routine. His Drawing classes required and rewarded a mind to persevere and never let the work be done. This has helped me to write better papers in later classes. Dylan Best

She was very helpful and very organized. Megan Donnel

Carol Stead is Making a Difference
I really appreciated how she was always calm even when we all needed her at once. She was also making everyone laugh and in the process she showed different tips to doing something faster or better. She gives little points on how to improve. Tiffany Neal

Cindy was very helpful with showing me what classes to take. She helped me realize that I am too hard on myself. She is an excellent teacher. She was always available to answer questions. Candice Higgs

Lisa taught me that if you work hard you will succeed. Her teaching methods helped me learn a lot about time management and organization. She was an excellent teacher, always available when needed. Candice Higgs

She was always so helpful and made you feel at ease. Natasha Simmons

Are Making a Difference
Peggy strange, Amy Duckett, Kristin Daniels, Kristine Marler & Megan Stewart Are Making a Difference All of the teachers in the Cosmetology department are absolutely wonderful.

They have impacted my life more than they will ever know, and I am truly grateful for that! Jennifer Fonner

Peggy Strange, Amy Duckett, Kristine Marler & Kristin Daniels Are Making a Difference
All four of these instructors are amazing! Each one of them taught me so much to prepare for life outside of college. At any time I needed something or was having a rough day with my home life, I knew I could go to any of them for help, advice, or support. Telsa Pool

She is an upbeat teacher who presents material in an interesting way. She cares for her students and loves teaching and it shows. Linda Hood

He was an excellent teacher and a great academic advisor. Phillip Riley

Mrs. Staley was so flexible with me when I was offered my job in the middle of the semester. She worked with me so I could finish my class with her. Even though she wasn't my advisor, she took the time to sit with me and go over my classes for my degree and made very helpful suggestions on what classes to take. Kelli Fonner

Martha Mioux is Making a Difference
Martha pushed me to a level I didn't know I had in me. She believed in me. In all honesty I wasn't that crazy about her at first, she was very intimidating, and I didn't think she cared about the success of her students. But she proved me wrong. I gained a lot of respect for her at the end of the course, and I will say she is probably one of the best teachers I have had throughout my college experience. Jill Weishaar

Stacie Ozier & Salisa Olmstead
Are Making a Difference I had dropped my class and they helped me get back in it so I could finish. I am very grateful for their help in letting me continue my class. Family issues had arisen and were quite over whelming at the time, but they worked with me and made it possible for me to continue. I am very thankful for what they did for me. Thank you so much!

Debby Calvert

She cared for her students. She adjusted schedules and explanations to enable her students to succeed. Every time I think back on my success at Lake Land, she is the first to come to mind. Lake Land is very fortunate to have her. Leona Scott

Greg Powers & Ed Thomas Are Making a Difference Greg and Ed were both instructors of mine in broadcasting, both gave me great hands-on teaching, and really cared for my success in the classroom. Both have been great mentors for me in my years at Lake Land, and as I leave I will make sure in the future I have time to pay them a visit every now and then. Thank you, Greg and Ed! Connor Quick

I had taken his economics class back in 2010 and when I had dropped out, took some time off, and returned in 2014, I took economics 2 and he remembered me and encouraged me. I like it when teachers remember me and how much effort I put into my work and my grades. Samnika McKay

Aaron Elzy

I have enjoyed being a student of Kathleen's. She has helped me so much along the way. Lyssa Michl

Scott is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all things information technology related. I never left a class without learning a lot of new material.

If it wasn't for him, I may not have returned to classes and finished my degree. Aaron Elzy

Lisa Bluhm is Making a Difference
I wanted to take the time to bring to your attention a teacher who goes above and beyond. Her name is Lisa Bluhm. I had her as a teacher for class and also an internship.

She did not have to do this but Lisa would go out of her way to help any student. Jean Miles

I attended Lake Land through online courses the majority of my education. Being off campus, I was not in contact with teachers and counselors as often as on campus students.

Deb was extremely helpful in assisting and listening to my concerns I had over some issues with another instructor and coping with my PTSD, social anxiety and panic disorder. One of the required courses was exceptionally difficult for me. I repeated the course and even extended the period of time to allow for better absorption and understanding of the material. This was extremely stressful for me and it took a massive toll on my stress capacity to where I was having panic attacks regularly. Deb was there for me with a compassionate ear and positive encouragement towards my goal to become a licensed MT. It was what I desperately needed to complete the program, and I think she should be recognized for all she does for her students. Her approach to teaching is amazing. She compels students to expand their horizons and not to be fearful to try new things.

When I was really struggling one semester of the program, it was Mrs. Porter who helped me the most and really went out of her way to see what she could do to help me, whether it was staying after class and discussing the material further or finding more resources outside of the classroom to help me understand things as well. She really made a difference for me, and I honestly could never thank her enough! Taylor Kuhns

The best part of the course was her humor. I thoroughly enjoyed her as an instructor. Blake Hawkins

Harold was by far the most enthusiastic instructor I have ever encountered. His wisdom was incredibly useful, and I always left his courses with new ideas.

Best of all, Harold had an incredible sense of humor. I have heard he may retire this year, and this saddens me because a generation of students will never encounter this wisdom again. Harold made me proud to be different, and I was incredibly honored to learn from him. Blake Hawkins

Mr. Nwosu went out of his way to explain microbiology in such a way that it could easily be understood. Numerous times in nursing school I encountered a subject that would remind me of sitting in Mr. Nwosu's class. In that moment, I could almost hear him explain it again. He also was very gracious and allowed me extra time to take my exams as I am rather slow at taking them. He offered words of encouragement throughout the semester. I really appreciate Mr. Nwosu! Elizabeth Miller

Mr. Turnbull set the bar very high. I felt it was almost impossible to reach his standards in A&P I. However, he was very approachable and encouraging.

I have taken General Chem I, am currently taking General Chem II, and will be taking Organic Chem I and II with him. As opposed to taking the latter two courses at U of I, I have chosen to take them with Dr. Capitosti because he is clearly very adept in his field and is an incredibly talented instructor.

I have no doubt that she is a driving force for the Lake Land College transfer students who eventually make their way to graduate school to subsequently was as zoologist. Rachel Finney

Cassandra Porter is Making a Difference Haley Whitman
Nursing school is tough. This is the general phrase you can expect to hear from just about everybody. In high school, I never studied or had to work hard at all. School came easy to me. Even starting at Lake Land with the variety of courses I took before Nursing seemed so easy. Getting into the program changed me completely. I actually struggled. For once in my life, I didn't feel smart. I struggled with this very much in my second semester of the RN program. I started to think I wasn't good enough to make it. Mrs. Porter went out of her way time and time again to help build me back up. She truly helped me see myself in a better light and helped me focus. I've learned to study properly, jump into the unknown, and make a name for myself. I feel like me again. I have had an extremely eye-opening experience here at Lake Land and will recommend this program to others because of it. She is an amazing instructor, and I am lucky to have been her student. Haley Whitman

I believe she is one to push her students to the end and better them for the future. Courtney Myers

Paula made me realize that although there are many designers out there who can use the same software, there are always different ideas flowing and people may like my ideas more than the competition. I can be as creative as I want and go for the jobs I want to go for. Just because we have the same education doesn't mean we have the same level of creativity which is why this field is so huge. I might never be able to come up with something someone else in my field does and vice versa which helps with the competition and also collaborations because you don't always have to compete. Working together is a huge part of getting the job done. Emily Rothrock

Mr. Turnbull was my teacher for Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2, and I could not be more pleased with his teaching methods! He made learning fun.

I went to a university before enrolling at LLC; most of my classes consisted of 50 or more students and the professor had no desire to connect on a personal level with the class.

I felt she truly cared about me. Not that my other instructors didn't, but she just went above and beyond. Speech is a hard class and not always everyone's passion or strong suit, but she really made it a fun and enjoyable experience.

She is a very upbeat and modern teacher that I think is very fair, fun, and enjoyable to have in class, showing genuine interest in her students lives outside of Lake Land. Olivia Claire

Mark's overall expectations and how he runs his classes made me better prepared for transferring than any others I've had at Lake Land College. He expects you to be in class and on time everyday. Also, he doesn't give any handouts; you must earn your grade. His class hasn't been the easiest, but its taught me to work harder as a student. Because of this, I have become a better overall student while in his classes. I learned that you cannot just show up and think a good grade is to follow. I've learned to put in the time and effort, and the success you are wanting will follow. He also treats everyone with fairness and the respect they have earned. Overall, Mark has helped tremendously in preparing me to further my education and someday enter the workforce. Mitchell Helton
