Waubonsee Marks Another Year of Contributing To the Community

At last month’s commencement we celebrated our fifty-first graduating class; a collective ritual marking both the external changes and internal transformation of people as they prepare to enrich their lives, their families and their communities. We are grateful to play a part in the contributions that Waubonsee alumni make within our community every day.

The Best Decision

My initial purpose of going to Waubonsee was completely financial. Although I had saved birthday and Christmas money since I was old enough to know what college was, it wasn’t going to be enough. It was my responsibility to pay for college--and college was expensive.

Those once ideals and beliefs now disturb me, because I was blinded by the reality.

Waubonsee Student Recognized for Excellence on Job

Most people want to make a splash in life. Benjamin Summers has done that both literally and figuratively.

Summers, a 2018 Yorkville High School graduate, chose to go to Waubonsee Community College, in part, because he wanted to continue working as a head lifeguard at the Vaughan Aquatic Center. 

That ability to work while going to school paid off in March 2019 when he received the International Golden Guard Safety Award from Jeff Ellis & Associates, Inc.
