The West Richland Center in Noble will be formally renamed and dedicated in honor of former Illinois Eastern Community Colleges Chief Executive Officer, Terry Bruce, during a ceremony this Friday. Bruce served as IECC’s CEO for 23 years, retiring in 2019. The Board of Trustees issued a proclamation in June dedicating the West Richland Center to honor Bruce’s legacy. The Terry L. Bruce West Richland Center currently houses programs for welding, cosmetology, and unmanned aerial vehicles as well as IECC’s Business and Industry division. In addition to dedicating the Terry L. Bruce West Richland Center, the day will also mark a grand opening ceremony for the Small Business Development Center located in the building. The dedication ceremony is set for this Friday at 10:30 a.m.
