Kati Sibenaller grew up wanting to work in health care, but after graduating from high school, she didn’t feel ready for college and so those dreams were sidelined until she was inspired by the dedicated nurses who helped her through a high risk pregnancy and the delivery of her son.

Representatives from more than 100 public and private colleges will be on hand for Waubonsee Community College’s College Night on Oct. 3 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The Fox Country Players, in partnership with Waubonsee Community College’s Community Education, welcome “Sister Act” to the Waubonsee Auditorium stage next month.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 20 percent of adults in the state of Illinois report being in fair or poor health. In addition, our most recent state census data shows that the proportion of Illinois’ population that is age 60 and older is growing more rapidly than other components of the population. These two statistics alone indicate that access to and demand for high quality health care is more important than ever. Through solid employer partnerships, state-of-the-art technology and facilities, and evolving curriculum and professional development for faculty, community colleges expertly strengthen the workforce in one of our country’s most critical and growing sectors.

Since the beginning of the early 1900s, educating health care professionals in institutions of higher education rather than hospital-based diploma and certification programs remained a long-term goal for many professions.

Individuals interested in a broad variety of career and technical (CTE) programs will have the opportunity to sample these programs through sessions scheduled this fall at Waubonsee Community College.
