The Sauk Valley Board of Trustees had a rather abbreviated agenda at their monthly meeting held Monday night.
There were some internal action items that needed attention. A contract approval was requested for the gym floor resurfacing. A public bid action was approved for window and door replacement around the campus.
Aaron Roe, Director of Research and Planning gave a presentation on the 2025 Spring Enrollment. The data shows that headcount is up from the previous spring by 9.9 percent and credit hours are up 5 percent. Dr. Jon Mandrel, Vice President of Academics and Student Services talked about how a lot of good people help the numbers continue to increase.
Mandrel went on to say that the trend is indicating a positive shift in enrollment and credit hour engagement driven primarily by growth among specific demographics on campus – career focused and skill based education.
In other news, Dr. Lori Cortez Vice President of Advancement shared that the sixth annual Chocolate Rendezvous will take place on Saturday February 15 from 6-9pm at the Dillon Mall. The funds raised will support the SVCC Impact Program. For more information go to svcc.edu/chocolate.
