I recently had the opportunity to meet with Highland Community College President Chris Kuberski and board members Pennie Groezinger and Shawn Boldt while they were in Springfield. I appreciated the chance to sit down and talk about the future of the college and the opportunities ahead for students and the surrounding communities.
We had a productive conversation about the direction of Highland and some of the exciting ideas being discussed, including the potential to expand academic opportunities through additional four-year programs. Expanding access to higher education locally could create even more pathways for students to continue their education and build successful careers while staying connected to their communities.
It is encouraging to see Highland Community College continuing to look ahead and invest in ways to better serve students, families, and the broader community. I appreciate President Kuberski and the board members taking the time to share their vision and discuss the college’s future.
