"Heartland is fortunate that Josh
loves community college students and chooses to teach for us
regularly," said Carol Hahn, Associate Dean of Liberal Arts and
Social Sciences at Heartland. "Josh often goes above and beyond.
He volunteers readily and enthusiastically for opportunities at
the college that others ignore. His students love and trust him
– indeed we all do."
The ICCTA Awards celebrate the achievements of students,
faculty, and staff across the 48 Illinois Community Colleges.
