IVCC traces its own history for Women's History Month

Illinois Valley Community College honors Women’s History Month in March by recognizing LPO-IVCC's own distinguished family lineage.

Introduced over the next 31 days on the College’s social media pages will be the pioneers and the pace-setters -- women who have transformed the College and endowed their communities and the country over the past century. They include philanthropists, educators, artists, athletes, and campus, civic, career and industry leaders.

Each day of the series, which is part of the College’s Centennial celebration, IVCC will share their facts and photos.

Last fall, one of those influential women became the College’s 11th president – and first IVCC graduate to hold that office. “We are excited to share the stories of so many groundbreaking women throughout our history. As we celebrate the 100 years that the College has served our community, we are excited to share the stories of the influential women who have impacted our history,” said President Dr. Tracy Morris.
