Humans Of LBCC

Sivan Fox

Meet Sivan, a second year student here at Linn Benton Community College. Sivan is studying Mechanical Engineering and will continue with this degree at OSU as a dual enrolled student within this upcoming year. He started at LBCC to save money and to avoid the (dreaded) dorms. Not only that, but he claims, “The burger in the Courtyard Cafe is to die for!” When asked what his reasoning for choosing a engineering major he said, “I have always had an interest in robotics and that interest turned into a passion for building cool things.” This term Sivan is taking 16 credits, with a hope to get ahead on his degree. His future, he plans to work on underwater renewable energy systems in hopes of creating a mechanism of his own. Engineering is a tough major, but when asked about his hardest class Sivan had another honest reason for hard classes, “I wouldn’t say any of the classes I took were hard necessarily,” he said, “however, I did struggle quite a bit with physics due to a lack of effort.” 

 Elizabeth Carrell

Elizabeth is a student here at LBCC and she spends most of her time working in the Library on campus and helping out other students. She began working for the school as a work-study, because not only do you get paid but it also helps cover the cost of tuition and provides good market experience. She started working in the library in Fall term of 2018 and plans to continue throughout the rest of her time at LB. Starting Winter term of 2019 Elizabeth plans to transfer over to OSU as a dual enrollment student studying Interior Design. She’s sad to leave the campus and says her favorite part about LB is the community. “Everyone is nice and supportive and encourages you to do well!” When asked to offer a piece of advice to incoming (and returning) students she said, “Make sure when making your schedules give yourself breaks or time for lunch in between classes!”
