Lincoln Trail College student Guadalupe Amicone won a four-way race to become the next Student Representative to serve on the Illinois Eastern Community College’s Board of Trustees. Amicone will take office at April’s meeting at Lincoln Trail College.
During her campaign, Amicone met with students at LTC as well as at Frontier Community College, Olney Central College, and Wabash Valley College. She said she wanted to tour the District because she believes each student is important and she wanted to hear what they had to say. Amicone has met with IECC Chancellor Dr. Ryan Gower to share what she heard from students, and they will meet again to develop a plan for the next year.
Once she takes office, Amicone says she wants to make sure the students know she is there to represent them.
Amicone won a four-person race against Madisyn McIntosh, Sean Stone, and Abigail Vaughn. Raechel Hnetkovsky from Frontier Community College is the current Student Trustee. Student Trustees serve a one-year term after they are elected. IECC rotates the position between each college in the District.
