History

IllinoisValleyCommunity Collegeopened its door asLaSalle-Peru-OglesbyJunior College

nestled on a tree lined bluff overlooking the Illinois River in Oglesby, Illinois with a panoramic view of the twin cities, LaSalle and Peru.

With local residents’ support, scholarly research and much discussion and planning, the LaSalle-Peru Board of Education, District 120, at its official meeting on April 24, 1924, approved a resolution giving birth to the College. LaSalle-Peru-Oglesby (LPO) Junior College was originally located on the campus of LaSalle-PeruTownshipHigh School in LaSalle, Illinois. On September 15, 1924 the College warmly received its first student body of 32 freshmen with a faculty of seven and two administrators.

The mission of the College in 1924 was to “…lay the foundations for successful careers in vocational, social, and political fields.” Tuition and fees totaled $16.00 per semester, enabling students to bypass four costly semesters at a university far from home.

LPO’s first director, Dr. Thomas J. McCormack, a PrincetonUniversity graduate, was recognized as one of the nation’s outstanding educators. The College continues to honor his memory by nominating top students as “McCormack Scholars.” Francis Dolan and R. Earl Trobaugh joined the LPO teaching staff in the 1930s and later served as presidents.

In 1950, the local community raised enough money to finance and send LPO’s football team to the Gold Dust Bowl in Vallejo, California. Though the team lost 41-6 to California’s Santa RosaJunior College, the invitation was the athletic highlight of LPO’s first twenty-five years.

On July 1, 1966, the College name was officially changed to IllinoisValleyCommunity College. With the new name came a new location as the campus moved to its current pastoral setting in the heart of the College district. On October 21, 1967, community members of District 513 voted 10-1 (20,527 “yes” to 2,189 “no”) in favor of an $8.25 million referendum to finance the beginning of IVCC. On September 9, 1968, the first college classes convened in 12 temporary buildings across the river as the new $20 million permanent campus was constructed overlooking the bluff. The permanent campus was dedicated in October 1972.

In May of 1974, Dr. Alfred E. Wisgoski, an LPO alumnus and graduate of NorthernIllinoisUniversity, was named the College’s seventh president, a position he remained in for twenty-two years. Dr. Wisgoski was committed to a comprehensive community college with an open door policy. He received enthusiastic endorsement from the faculty and staff, and pioneered the principle of “openness”.

Under Dr. Wisgoski’s leadership new partnerships were built to better serve business and industry in the area. It was these partnerships and new technical programs which prompted IBM to identify IVCC as a business partner in preparing manufacturing industries to convert to computer integrated assembly systems. Of the IBM agreement which was signed in 1988, Dr. Wisgoski stated, “this agreement will guarantee that IVCC will be able to offer the very best in high technology training to our students on equipment better than all but a handful of the nation’s community colleges. IBM donated over 1.2 million dollars to IVCC and the college has remained a leader in technology ever since.

Dr. Jean Goodnow, a graduate of the University of Iowa, was named IVCC’s eighth president in April 1996. A Master Plan for facility renovations, new construction and infrastructure upgrades was developed in 1997. In 1998, $4.2 million in Technology Funding Bonds were sold for computer network and telecommunications infrastructure improvements and provided hardware and software for a college-wide interactive information system.

Under Dr. Goodnow’s leadership, the college received in excess of $15 million in grants. Nine new career programs were developed during her tenure including a Forensics program, which is one of only five in the nation’s community college system. To further expand resources, Dr. Goodnow created a Development Office, which increased the assets of the IVCC Foundation from $1.7 million in 1996 to $2.6 million in 2004.

In the fall of 2000, IVCC opened a new OttawaCenter. This center is located in MarquetteHigh School to better serve the students on the east side of the district. In 2003, IVCC won the third straight Arrowhead Conference All-Sports Award.

Dr. Charles R. Novak was appointed interim president by the Board of Trustees, after the departure of Dr. Goodnow in June 2005. Dr. Novak, with a vested interest in the future of IVCC as the former Director of Continuing Education for IVCC in the 1970s, came out of presidential retirement to assist the Board of Trustees in locating a qualified presidential candidate.

IVCC continues to prepare students for a solid future and meet the ever-changing needs of area employers. Structural and technological upgrades have been completed and planning is under way for a new CommunityInstructionalCenter that will house a large cafeteria, meeting rooms for community businesses, an art gallery, student center, enrollment management services and a bookstore.

The IllinoisValleyCommunity College district now includes more than 146,000 residents, 21 high schools and 2,000 square miles.
