Fall 2009 semester!

The fall 2009 semester is here! We started Thursday August 20 and are heading towards the next few months with excitement and amazement. Our enrollment will be up and students are lining up for their educational needs. We are ready for new and different things this semester to help our our students and staff. Stop in and say "hi" sometime as we dive into the next few months.

The fall semester is getting closer!

Finals for the summer semester are this week at John A. Logan College. That means that in a few weeks the fall semester will start. There will be over 1000 students that we'll register over the next few weeks so it will be busy times around the campus. The fall is always an exciting time at the college with new faces starting and/or continuing college careers. A great but busy time of year!

Spring semester ends

Wow...what an ending to the spring semester. The inland hurricane came through with 106 mph winds and knocked us out of the last week of the semester and finals! Students will view their grades and can make a decision if they want to take a final or not. Probably most will choose to just take the grade and be done with the spring. It's really a weird way to finish the spring but we'll do what we have to do. The college campus was pretty tore up with trees down, etc., but we'll bounce back. Bring on the summer!

Junior Summer Honors Program - 2009

Remember that we will again have the summer Junior Honors Program for our eleven in-district high schools. This is a program designed for high school juniors to allow them to pursue college course work while still in high school between their junior and senior years. Two juniors from each of our eleven district high schools will be chosen by their high school counselors to attend John A. Logan College during the summer semester. The College will provide a tuition and fee waiver to the two highest ranked students from each school who meet the criteria and who want to start their college education early. Contact me for details.
