DON'T MISS THE 39TH ANNUAL STUDENT ART COMPETITION
For the first time, a collection of impressive creations in the College of Lake County’s 39th Annual Student Art Competition is now available online. Due to COVID-19, the student artwork is displayed in a virtual gallery since social distancing and stay at home orders prevent the community from gathering in the Robert T. Wright Community Gallery of Art on campus.

ALUMNI AND PARTNERSHIPS BENEFIT FROM DONATIONS
Patricia Adams, CLC alumna, BSN and nurse care manager at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, said the masks and other PPE donated by CLC have helped her as well as colleagues remain protected when working with patients. "The PPE is what allows nurses and all health care professionals the ability to do our jobs, which is caring for our patients with the confidence that everyone is protected and safe," she said.

COLLEGE APPOINTS NEW TRUSTEES
At its meeting on April 21, the CLC Board of Trustees unanimously approved and appointed former senior executive Vaseem Iftekhar and attorney Torrie Mark Newsome to fill two vacancies on the Board, positions left open by the retirement of Dr. Catherine M.

A 'SECOND HOME' TO SOME, CLC THEATRE PROGRAM TURNS 50
The College of Lake County put on its first theatre performance 50 years ago – a time when the college was in its first-ever academic year, when the classes were operated out of six prefabricated buildings on a donated 181-acre plot of land and the theater program had to use a nearby elementary school for its performances.


CLC's theatre department is currently taking a break due to COVID-19 but looks forward to be on stage again as soon as possible.
