Elgin Community College (ECC) dual-credit student Sid Perkins has found that ECC offers a wealth of opportunities for growth and exploration.
Ginger Alms, associate professor of English, reinvented herself before entering higher education. “Who doesn’t love a plot twist?” Alms said.
For some, this subject is fun, as certain people have a special interest in solving problems for unknown variables! But for many of us, this subject is intimidating. MATH. Love it or hate it, math is pretty much essential throughout your entire (school) life. It chases after you like a greater-than sign and will eat you up if you don’t comprehend it.
Elgin Community College freshman Jaylen Wells was surprised by the size of the ECC campus. “Not just the buildings, but the people. It is so diverse, I love being around everyone,” Wells said.
