This year five students represented Illinois Central College in Louisville, Kentucky to take part in the 51st annual SkillsUSA National Leadership Conference that was held from June 22-27, 2015. One student was awarded a National medal.

SILVER:

Of the remaining competitors from Illinois Central College, six placed within the top 10 in their competitions.

As always Illinois Central College had several Alumni and Faculty participating at this year’s National Conference to help assist students, judge competitions, and represent the State of Illinois:

Kim Hawthorne, Kevin Wells, Mark DuBois, Dave Cook, Jeff Gardner, Shari Tripp, Brandy Thatcher, Nicholas Hulva, Michael Raydon, and Jonathan Worent. Eric Hill (former state and local ICC SkillsUSA officer) will be taking over as the State Director for SkillsUSA Illinois in September.

In addition, Mark DuBois and Jeff Gardner will be representing not only ICC, but Illinois and the nation as supervisor and judges at World Skills International in August 2015. They are the first two from Illinois with this honor.

Thank you to all the students and faculty for representing Illinois Central College and the State of Illinois.

ICC took 70 students and faculty advisors to the SkillsUSA State Championships in Springfield (April 22-25). These Gold medalists have won the honor of competing at Nationals in Louisville, KY in June. Please help me in congratulating the following students on a job well done and Good Luck in Louisville:
