Students virtually explored different majors across the three campuses of Illinois Central College before spending the afternoon with the Theater Department. They had the opportunity to engage with the department chair and current students, learning firsthand about the arts at ICC and how involved students can be on campus.
We discussed tuition waivers available to students who participate in shows, choir, and band, as well as how to earn an associate degree and successfully transfer to a four-year university. Our students jumped right in with group acting activities, learning more about themselves and each other through hands-on experiences.
The day ended with a live performance of Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare. The ICC student performers were phenomenal and took time after the show to connect with our students, answer questions, and share their college journeys.
We have several students who are already super excited to begin their college careers at ICC.

Noah graduated from MCHS in 2014 and is currently an insurance professional in town with Country Financial. He completed his associate degree in Agricultural Business at ICC before continuing his education at Western Illinois University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Science with a minor in Agricultural Economics, graduating in 2018.
After college, Noah moved to North Dakota for a year to work in soybean seed production, though the cold quickly convinced him it wasn’t the right fit. He then relocated to Pleasant Hill, Illinois, where he worked for Nutrient Ag Solutions in seed, chemical, and fertilizer sales. In 2023, he had the opportunity to return home and begin his career with Country Financial.
In his free time, Noah enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family and his three-legged dog.

Their generous donation of welding equipment—including gloves, helmets, and jackets—will make a real difference for students pursuing skilled trades and career-ready pathways.
Pictured with Mrs. Harbourn are two of our talented students, Nathaniel and Jack, who are currently enrolled in the ICC Early College Welding Program. Upon completing the program, they’ll earn a welding certificate through Illinois Central College—and thanks to this donation, they’ll have top-notch equipment to kickstart their careers or continue their education.
We are so grateful for the ongoing support of our students across all pathways. Your generosity helps them achieve their goals and prepares them for a bright future!
