Office of the President
Message from the President
Exciting things are happening on campus and in our classrooms. We are happy to report for the fourth year in a row, enrollments have increased and are now higher than our pre-COVID-19 level from 2019. Since the pandemic, we have more options for students to learn how and when it works best in their schedule — face-to-face, online or a little of both. Our student clubs, organizations and athletics are going strong, with many opportunities for student involvement outside the classroom.
One of the most exciting things for our campus community this year is the roll-out of the “All-In” tuition model, effective Summer 2025. Students now pay one price for their tuition, fees, and even their textbooks. The amount you pay is what you see on your tuition statement. Getting your textbooks is as easy as stopping in and picking them up at the Kish Store. “All-In” is saving our students and their families millions of dollars per year.
At Kish, we listen to our students and communities, and are constantly evolving to provide new and innovative ways of delivering a first-class education close to home. I encourage you to check out the programs, services and activities we offer. Course options allow students to take classes that fit their work and family schedules. Program options range from short-term to two-year associate degrees. Advising, tutoring and career services are just a few examples of the many support services offered at Kish to help students be successful in the classroom and after college.
Kishwaukee College is committed to improving lives by providing equitable, student-centered education. Please let us know how we can help you create the life you want. We look forward to seeing you soon on campus or in our online classrooms.
