Restoring community through collaboration Shauna Stocken Staff Writer Two foreclosed homes in danger of being demolished had a change of fate when an idea proposed by the Allen Neighborhood Center (ANC) helped save the two homes on Lansing’s east side.

LCC, ANC and the Ingham County Land Bank teamed together to become part of a home restoration project called Restoration Works! The project will restore the vintage homes to their original roots while modernizing the homes with environmental advances such as solar pan-

els and energy efficient alternatives. “It is a classic house and it strengthens the corridor,” said Joan Nelson, the executive director of ANC. Work to reconstruct the homes will be completed by the LCC See Restore, page 2

Career options displayed Nathan Wilson Staff Writer The LCC American Marketing Association (AMA) and Business Media and Information Technologies (BMIT) hosted Career Day on Nov. 10 from 3 to 7 p.m. in the Gannon Building

lobby. Career Day launched with a networking session during which students gained an opportunity to network with potential employers. An employer panel discussion followed and students questioned employers about securing

jobs. Dusty Price, vice president of the chapter operations of AMA, explained the goal of Career Day is to enable students to meet with potential employers for possible internships See Career, page 2

College remembers: LCC unveiled a new Veterans’ Memorial (left) in the Fred Abood Rotunda of the HHS building on Veterans’ Day, Nov. 11, drawing many guests and filling the stairwell of the rotunda (above). The ceremony included the induction of the first 13 veterans to be honored, six of whom were Medal of Honor recipients and seven of whom were distinguished service recipients. The memorial integrates images and audio to honor each of the veterans on their accomplishments. The HHS building is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for viewing. Photos by Michael Caterina
