By NORTHWEST HERALD
ELGIN – “Excellence is Not Optional,” a discussion that was inspired by President Obama’s September message to elementary and high school students, will take place Wednesday.
The event is planned from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Wednesday at the Advanced Technology Center auditorium of Elgin Community College’s main campus, 1700 Spartan Drive.
Taking part will be ECC President David Sam, who will be joined by Judson University President Jerry Cain and School District U-46 Superintendent Jose Torres. They will share their perspectives on the importance of education in advancing U.S. competitive advantage in the global economy.
The event is open to the community and sponsored by the Multicultural and Global Initiatives Committee, an organization composed of students, faculty, staff, administrators and community members.
The goal of the group is to prepare individuals to succeed in a diverse society by providing and supporting multicultural experiences.
