Elect Sandy Kim, CoD Board of Trustees

Sandy's range of experience with COD has given her a well-developed perspective on many different areas of the college. As a full-time, non-traditional student she served as the President of the Student Leadership Council, founded both the C.O.D. Veterans Association and the Collegiate Council (a concept for engaging student leaders in dialogue), and has a history of experience with Faculty, Students, Staff, Administration and community members. Over the course of the past two years, Sandy Kim has been advocating in Springfield and in Washington on behalf of the college. Her passion for civic engagement and her deep respect for this institution where she has acted as student, leader, staff member, advocate, and concerned community member has led her to the desire to help represent your voice by volunteering her time to help steer the College of DuPage into the future.

Thanks for your support!

We thank all of Sandy's loyal supporters for getting the word out and helping to elect her to the College of DuPage Board of Trustees. All of your help has been greatly appreciated!
