Emma Garretson

Hello, Eagles! My name is Emma Garretson and I was voted Student Trustee for the 2024-2025 academic year. I will be filling the role of Libby Boyles. I am currently a freshman, from Peru, IL.

During my first year at IVCC, I was a part of the volleyball team and was elected as a freshman representative in the Student Government Association.

I decided to run for Student Trustee because I want to help students understand their importance at IVCC and make it known that their opinions matter. I will effectively communicate students’ perspectives on issues to both the Board of Trustees and the Student Government Association.

I am honored to serve the students of IVCC next year and I am looking forward to meeting new people along the way. I get the opportunity of writing a column for each issue of the IV Leader, keeping everyone updated on anything significant happening at the school and topics covered in board meetings.

I am open to any advice or recommendations that you have to offer. You may contact me via email, [email protected]. During my free time, you may find me in the SGA office that is located in the Student Life Space.
