The deadline to submit nominations for the Illinois Valley Community College-La Salle Peru Oglesby Junior College Hall of Fame class of 2009 is Feb. 27.
The IVCC-LPO ‘hall’ was established a year ago to honor the academic, fine arts, athletic or career achievements of alumni and former college employees during their years at the college or in their personal or professional lives.
In addition, the Hall recognizes individuals who may not have attended the college but who have made a significant difference in the lives of students through their service or generosity to the college.
Inductees will be chosen in March and honored May 16 in the IVCC Cultural Centre. A total of 25 individuals were inducted last year including world renowned neurosurgeon Robert Spetzler, 20-year college director Francis “Phil” Dolan and Peru mayor Donald Baker (LPO ’48).
Nominees not chosen last year will be reconsidered this year. For information, contact Fran Brolley at (815) 224-0466.
