FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome Kankakee Community College stu-dent athletes, parents, supporters and fans!

As we begin the 2014-15 academic year at Kankakee Community College, there is an energy and excitement accompanying many changes in the past and current calendar year. We have relocated the South Extension Center in Watseka, the North Extension Center is open and houses our Workforce Services and adult education programs as well as being the site for our massage therapy program, the Manufac-turing and Industrial Technology Center on Rt. 45/52 is open and the welding, technology, and other classes are running at capacity. Plus, we have just received funding for the construction of an Advanced Technology Education Center.

Adding to those operational occurrences is the change in our staff with a new vice president for instructional and student suc-cess, Dr. Michael Boyd, who joined us in May, and is already mak-ing a difference in the lives of our students with his leadership of our faculty.

We have been fortunate to watch the continued success of our athletic teams, and you see a great deal of pride as you walk the halls of the college.

The student-athletes of KCC live our motto to “Start here. Finish

Anywhere.” It is my firm belief that education is the key to all of our life successes, and I remain commit-ted to our mission to develop leaders. Our athletic program, and each sport, begin with the strong dedication of our complete coaching staff and are supported by the KCC board of trustees and our community. As parents and educators, we pledge to join your efforts to provide encouragement and sup-port to our student-athletes.

I wish our student-athletes success both as stu-dents and as athletes at Kankakee Community Col-lege. It is an honor to be part of the Cavaliers family, and I would like to thank the parents of our student-athletes, each member of the coaching staff, and

the members of our Cavalier Club who help to support our athletic teams. Please join the Board of Trustees, myself, faculty, staff, and all Cavalier fans in wishing each of our teams and coaches a suc-cessful season.

SEASON PREVIEW

The Lady Cavaliers return to the hardwood intent on making a strong appearance at the Region IV Tournament.

The team, which finished 28-8 last year, will feature six freshmen and five returning sophomores. Success will depend on growth and leadership.

Coach Donnie Denson will ask the freshmen to step up and make their presence felt on the offensive and defensive ends. The sophomores will be expected to lead by example and continue the hardnosed style of play that has earned 19 National Tournament appearances in the past 24 years for the Lady Cavaliers.

The 2014-15 schedule has the Cavs facing off against South

Suburban College, Moraine Valley C.C., Prairie State College, Mor-ton College, and Rock Valley C.C. in Region IV. The schedule also takes the Cavaliers out of Region IV, as they play Kalamazoo Valley C.C., Danville Area C.C., Parkland College, Lake Michigan College, and Lake Land College.

The Lady Cavaliers expect to face several nationally ranked teams. There are four contests against Division I opponents, 21 with Division II teams, and three Division III teams that should give the Cavs the preparation necessary to compete for the regional championship crown.
