“For 35 years our partnership has been an honor and privilege for me, but also for what it’s done for the southwest suburban area. We look forward to continued growth and excellence.”
Bennett discusses the “amazing” transformation of the college he has witnessed as mayor for 35 of the last 50 years. He is proud of the showpiece it has become for Palos Hills and credits the founders, board of trustees, Foundation, and college presidents with building a facility that is “second to none in Illinois.” He praised the college for its commitment to the community in providing a place for activities as well as quality educational opportunities.
