My name is Jacy Miller, and I’m honored to serve as your Student Trustee this year.

I decided to run because I wanted to continue the work I began in Student Government. Last semester, I served as the Freshman Student Representative, and that experience showed me how much I enjoy advocating for students and staying involved on campus.

As a political science major, I’m naturally interested in how student leadership works and how decisions shape our college experience, which is what first sparked my interest in getting involved.

I’ve always been drawn to leadership roles: I’m an editor for the IV Leader, and during my time at Ottawa Township High School, I was elected class president. 

Stepping into the Trustee position felt like the right next step because I know I can dedicate my time, energy, and commitment to representing the student body.

One of my biggest goals is to encourage more student involvement, whether that means attending school events, supporting athletic teams, or simply showing up for one another. I truly believe that when students engage with their campus community, it creates a more welcoming environment for everyone, especially those who may be living away from home. 

I also want to increase awareness of scholarships and financial aid opportunities so students can fully understand the resources available to them and the real benefits of attending IVCC.  

If you ever have questions, ideas, or concerns, I want to hear from you. You can reach me anytime at my student email [email protected] or by phone at (815) 883‑1205. I’m here to represent you, and I’m excited for what we can accomplish together.
