It was great to spend time with the team at Sauk Valley Community College!

Visits like this are a great reminder of the important role community colleges play, not only in helping students succeed, but also in strengthening our local communities and preparing the workforce our region needs.

The Schulz/Miller family continues to be an inspiration!

Four generations of Schultz/Miller women were recognized for their commitment to the ag industry.
