On Oct. 17, IVCC held its 45th College Night. This event attracts people from across the area.

Over 50 universities and colleges from Illinois and surrounding states sent representatives to the event to talk to members of the community interested in exploring their educational options.

This event provided an opportunity for high school seniors, current college students looking to transfer, and community members looking to go back to college.

Participants were able to meet with college counselors and representatives to learn more about the programs each college has to offer.

Attending colleges were also available to answer questions specific to their programs for parents and prospective students to consider.
