I joined community college trustees from across Illinois at Highland Community College for the Illinois Community College Trustees Association’s Executive Committee retreat.
It was a great chance to talk about the important role community colleges play across our state. They provide students with an affordable path to continue their education while also helping people develop the skills they need to enter the workforce and build successful careers.
Community colleges like Highland are also closely connected to the communities they serve. They work with local employers and create opportunities for students close to home.
I appreciated the opportunity to speak with trustees from around the state and thank them for the work they do on behalf of their students and communities. Their leadership helps keep our community colleges strong and ensures they continue providing opportunities for Illinois students.
