Join us in commemorating more than seven decades of improving lives through learning.

Since its founding in a wing of Elgin High School on January 10, 1949, Elgin Community College has grown into a top 25 college recognized by the Aspen Institute. In 2024 we begin a year-long celebration to highlight our milestones and recognize the many people responsible for the college’s progress.
