Jeff Springer organizes Coffee and Conversation at Linn-Benton Community College on May 1 on the Albany campus in the courtyard. At Coffee and Conversation they have free coffee on Wednesdays for everyone along with great conversations with people who are a part of the club. Other than coffee, they also have a worship and Bible study that they do every Wednesday in the afternoons. 


During Linn-Benton's free pancakes for students event on May 8 in the courtyard on the Albany campus, someone brought their week-old lamb. This was a part of the college's LBCC Gives Hope Day, which raised more than $38,000 to benefit students beyond the classroom. 


On May 9, Linn-Bentons baseball team played a double header against the Lane Titans. LBCC lost the first game 4-2; and won game two by a score of 11-9. The game was played on the Dick McClain Field on the Albany campus. The next game is on Saturday, May 11.

Linn-Benton Community College is located in Albany, Oregon. LBCC was built in 1966. It offers degrees in a variety of areas including Culinary, Welding, Psychology,  Math, English, and Journalism. Many of the students also get a transfer degree so that they can go to a four-year college.  After LB many  students go on to Oregon State University, and Western Oregon University. Here are some photos from around campus. This is Patrick Acree and he works in the library on May 20, helping students find information. He can also show them where to find the books they need. He has been working for the library for  six years.  These are shelves with different kinds of history books and the table down in the front is where students can study and work on homework.

   Brian Reed is the engineering instructor at Linn-Benton Community College. He has worked in this position for fourteen years. His favorrit part of his job is interacting with the students, and to hang out with collegues. His first job was he worked at his parents print shop when he was eight years old.  Some of Brian's hobbies are electronics, wood working, and music. He's favorite way to spend the day off is to read a good sci fantasy book. One thing that makes his day instantly better is he lives out of town and sometimes he'll get to see wild turkeys, deer, and bunnies. He also likes wild life and it always puts a smile on his face. If he could time travel he would go 100 years in the future to see if we made it.

 In the book “It’s What I Do” by Lynsey Addario we follow Lynsey, who is a photographer during some of the twenty-first-century war. One of my favourite moments from this book was when in March 2011, Lynsey was kidnapped in Libya while she was covering the fighting between the director Moammar Gadhafi's troops and rebel forces, why I found this interesting is because this is covered in multiple chapters and the final two chapters we figure out where Lynsey went while she was kidnapped. Another event that I found interesting is in chapter 9 titled The Most Dangerous Place in the World, Lysney and her partner were covering a war, and Lysney found out that her partner was pregnant, I found this to be interesting because Lynsey’s partner continued to help Lynsey with her work even though Lynsey wanted her to leave. How I would describe Lynsey compared to others is that she likes to get right in front to show us what is going on and to also show people's emotions, for instance, when...
