At IECC, our purpose is clear: to empower students to reach their personal, academic, and professional aspirations. Through the hard work of our faculty and staff, we’ve garnered recognition for excellence at regional, state, and national levels. LTC and WVC were recognized among the top 25 colleges in the country, while OCC is once again an Aspen Prize Top 150 U.S. Community College. FCC was recognized as the number two community college in Illinois. Our colleges are widely recognized as among the best in the state and nation, a testament to our unwavering dedication to student success. As we look to build on this tradition of excellence, we want to express our appreciation for the pivotal role played by our alumni and local businesses. Your support, whether through financial contributions, providing clinical or work experiences for our students, or helping us ensure our curricula meets industry demands, is crucial in our efforts to enhance the qual- ity of life in our communities.
To shape and secure the future of our organization, each of us must find the courage to embrace change today. It will be through our collective e�forts, not the work of one or two people, that we will move IECC forward together.
