Kankakee Community College President Dr. Michael Boyd has been selected as one of just 23 Presidents’ Fellowship participants from the prestigious Aspen Institute College Excellence Program.
The honor recognizes his vision for connecting education to family-sustaining careers. Since becoming KCC’s president in 2019, Boyd has emphasized the link between education and high-demand jobs in the region.
“I’m honored to be selected for this fellowship and to represent Kankakee Community College. This opportunity will allow me to continue strengthening the connection between education and workforce needs, ensuring our students are prepared for meaningful, family-sustaining careers.”
Dr. Boyd is the only participant from Illinois in the program. He is currently on the board of the Economic Alliance and formerly served as Vice Chairman and Board Chairman of the Alliance.
