Program Enhancements

Program enhancements are another form of financial support provided by the generosity of donors, which benefits College departments for various needs including educational support for instructors, new equipment, and testing services for students.

Coats for Kish Students

Kody’s Cupboard Food Pantry recently distributed free winter coats to students in need, ensuring they are equipped for the colder months. This initiative was made possible through the support of the Kishwaukee College Foundation and the generosity of donor Anita Fuerst, mother of Carl Fuerst, Assistant Professor of English. Thank you for helping us keep students warm and focused on their education.



Student Thank You

"As I finish out my time at Sycamore High School and continue my education at Kishwaukee College, I could not feel more proud and grateful to receive the Emma Anderson Scholarship Award. I want to deeply thank the donors for their generosity for both selecting me for this award and for their help in furthering my college education as I pursue my degree in sports management."
