  • IVCC Feeds the Need

    IVCC Feeds the Need
    Nov 25 2025
    This episode of IVCC Pulse features a discussion with Crystal Credi, Dean of Student Success, and Ashlee Fitzpatrick, Associate Director of Retention and how IVCC is taking a holistic approach to student success. The highlight of this discussion is the on-campus food pantry, Eagles Peak. Food insecurity is concern across most college campuses and IVCC is no different. In order to raise not only awareness, but also to receive donations, IVCC is participating in the Illinois Community College Board's "Feed the Need Campus Food Drive." This is a friendly competition between community colleges in Illinois to see which campus can receive the most donations. This discussion was recorded on Nov. 13, almost one month since the start of the campaign on Oct. 15, 2025. As of posting date (Nov. 25), IVCC has received 2271 total donations. The campaign runs until Dec. 1, 2025. In the spirit of the Holidays, please consider making a donation of non-perishable food items to Eagles Peak. If you would like to make another kind of donation, please contact the IVCC Foundation at (815) 224-0550 and specify that your donation is to go to Eagles Peak.
