JOLIET, IL Joliet Junior College President Judy Mitchell is leaving her position at the end of this year, school officials announced Thursday morning. Mitchell has been employed for 25 years with JJC and nearly five years as campus president.
The Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees approved her retirement at Wednesday night s meeting. A new president will be in place by next January. When I think about 2020 and my nearly five years as president, I am so proud of the work we have accomplished together, Mitchell said in Thursday s news release. The clarity that 2020 brought to me personally is that I have accomplished what I set out to do when I accepted this role, plus so much more. That is why I am announcing my retirement from the college, effective December 31, 2021.
