A partnership that began in 2012 continues to create new opportunities for Lake Land College students.
Farm Credit Illinois approached Lake Land College nearly 10 years ago about creating a Lake Land College Agriculture Division Endowment as well as annual scholarship commitments for agriculture students and other financial contributions.
Lake Land College has utilized the support provided to enhance several student experiences in the agriculture division, including presentations from Farm Credit Illinois speakers and networkingopportunities at the annual division welcome back barbeque.
“We are incredibly grateful for all of the contributions Farm Credit Illinois has provided over the past several years,” Division Chair Agriculture/ Agriculture Instructor Ryan Orrick said. “We appreciate the value the organization places on our students and our division.”
Farm Credit Illinois also established the Farm Credit Illinois Training Center in the West Building in 2013. With several Lake Land College alumni pursuing careers with Farm Credit Illinois, it is clear that the organization’s Laker support continues even beyond graduation.
“Farm Credit provides a great knowledge base and is clearly invested in the students’ success,” Orrick said. “Our students have always had nothing but great things to say about their support.”
Philanthropic Organization by the Lake Land CollegeFoundation for its tremendous support to the Foundation and college. Lake Land College looks forward to continued collaboration and partnership with the organization.
