               “It is further confirmation of our dedicated staff’s passion for the mission of the College and a quest toward continuously improving our services for the benefit of our students and the community. There have been significant changes in adult education to increase high school equivalency credentials and post-secondary enrollment in the state, and ICC is committed to keeping up that momentum locally.”
