• July 6, 2011: Executive Director George Reid provided direction for the staff of Diversity and Outreach to further implement activities aligned with closing the statewide achievement gap identified in the Illinois Public Agenda for Career and College Success.

• The project, as identified by Dr. Reid, involves a one-year unit plan as

follow-up to the “90 Day Project” which identified and helped to re-enroll students who were in good academic standing, but stopped out of college and yet needed to complete a college degree.

• The “One Year Project” was designed to develop philanthropic

resources to assist in the continued educational opportunity of Illinois students through the completion of certification and degree attainment.
