Through our Student Employee of the Month program, we celebrate the incredible talent and dedication of our students who contribute to the LCCC community. Here are some of our outstanding student employees for the Spring 2026 Semester:
Student Employee of the Month Highlights
February 2026: Alix Norton (Education Department) In her short time serving as a liaison, Alix completely transformed the Education Student Resource Center. From meticulously cataloging extensive book collections to streamlining the ECE library and front office, her organizational initiative made resources significantly more accessible. She also revitalized the Education suite with vibrant bulletin boards and a welcoming coffee bar, bringing a dedication and "can-do" spirit that made a lasting impact in record time.
March 2026: James Leap (College Relations Office) James has been a powerhouse, tackling everything from technical website updates to high-level creative design. He consistently demonstrated an exceptional work ethic and remarkable versatility, pivoting seamlessly between technical website maintenance and creative social media storytelling in support of the Foundation. His standout poster design was even featured in the mail lobby, proving his reliability and initiative make him an invaluable asset.
April 2026: Nigel Kuzanga (Career Development) Nigel serves as a cornerstone of the department, going far beyond the scope of a typical student worker. Whether handling complex graphic design, managing event setup, or meticulously handling reconciliations, he approaches everything with a willing heart and creative mind. He stepped outside his comfort zone to be an incredible ambassador at the Snack Bowl, bringing laughter, a calm focus, and mentorship to his peers.
May 2026: Leah Betancourt (Donley Center) Since joining the team, Leah has proven to be exceptionally task-driven, dependable, and positive. Her impact spans multiple departments: she has led insightful campus tours in Allentown, assisted with Literacy Department orientations, organized the food pantry, and ensured Career Development Center events run smoothly. Also a gifted artist whose work has been featured in a children's book, she used her personal vision to create a thoughtful drawing of the Donley Center team.
The dedication and excellence displayed by these students highlight the mission of Career Development at LCCC. By providing the necessary tools and support, we continue to empower our students to start their journeys here with confidence, knowing they have the foundation to go anywhere.
