Debbie Herrold

Women's basketball returns to LBCC with the hiring of Debbie Herrold as head women’s basketball coach. As many of you know, Debbie has been a part-time faculty teaching health and physical education at the college for the past 28 years. She also has served as head women's basketball coach once before, from 1987 to 1993, and as assistant coach for the basketball and cross-country track teams. In 1991, her basketball team placed fifth in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community College tournament, and in 1999, Coach Herrold was inducted into the NWAACC Hall of Fame. A reception welcoming Debbie will be held Friday, April 10 at 3 p.m. in the LBCC Activities Center gym. LBCC announced plans to re-establish its women’s basketball program last spring, with an emphasis on the “student” in student athlete. Player recruitment will begin in the coming months, with team play starting in the 2015-16 intercollegiate basketball season.

Campus Safety is encouraging employees with iPhone or Android smart phones to download the LBCC Public Safety app. The app will help you connect quickly to the college safety officer on duty, to emergency action plans, and other emergency and Public Safety resources. Knowing what to do in an emergency can help you in directing students and guests on campus in the event of evacuation. The app is available through Google Play Store or Apple App Store by searching for LBCC Public Safety, or by going to the LBCC landing page at http://LBCCPublicSafety.mobapp.at - and scan the QR code to go directly to the app for download.

Could your students use free money for college? Free scholarships workshops will be held Wednesday, April 8, and again Thursday, April 9, from Noon to 1 p.m. in the Calapooia Center, Cascade View A&B meeting rooms. Spring term is the college’s biggest scholarship award cycle, and many of our scholarships go unawarded. This free workshop will help your students learn how to get the most out of their scholarship application, and how to get letters of reference, look up scholarships on the LBCC scholarship database and other helpful tips. You can help your students by searching the scholarship database by the term that the applications are being accepted and encourage your students to apply. You can also search by keywords and majors. Many scholarships are not GPA exclusive, and not all require FASFA. Check out the scholarship page at www.linnbenton.edu/scholarships.
