On 243 beautiful acres in Sugar Grove sits the college’s main and only multi-building campus.

Located in the heart of Illinois’ second largest city, the Aurora Downtown Campus offers one-stop student services, transferable general education courses, and signature Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree and Certificate Programs. It is also the home of the college’s Adult Education programs, the Small Business Development Center, and the Latinx Resource Center. A specialized facility located on the campus of the Rush Copley Medical Center, The Aurora Fox Valley Campus building is focused on health care programs, and features state-of-the-art labs that give students hands-on, realistic experience with current equipment and procedures. The Plano Campus serves as the college’s Innovation and Design Center. As such, it houses a variety of programs including welding, computer aided design and drafting, cybersecurity, and more.

 

The new president of Waubonsee Community College will be a compassionate, forward-thinking, collaborative leader who works effectively and in tandem with the Board of Trustees and college community to advance the institution’s commitment to serve its community and meet the educational and training needs of diverse student populations. The most competitive candidates will understand the community college mission and have successful senior-level leadership experience either in higher education, or in other professional sectors--provided that the candidate can demonstrate the attributes, skills, and experiences detailed in the profile.
