MALTA — Kishwaukee College hosted its annual School Administrators’ Breakfast meeting on Thursday, Oct. 26 on campus. Dr. Laurie Borowicz, President of Kishwaukee College, moderated a wide-ranging discussion designed to build partnerships between the College, local school districts and Northern Illinois University.
The Administrators’ Breakfast was instituted by Dr. Borowicz. This is the third meeting of local administrators on the Kish campus. This year marked the first time NIU has been able to attend. Dr. Lisa Freeman, Acting President of NIU, and Dr. Borowicz have been working to establish a closer connection between their respective institutions to offer area students multiple options for their post-secondary educational goals.
The administrators discussed a variety of topics of importance in assisting students to gain a clearer and more successful entry to college and the workforce. Topics covered by the group included how best to collaborate to enhance existing programs such as Dual Credit offerings in the high schools; the Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness Act (PWR) transition courses; communications strategies with parents of local students; and pathways/programs of study.
