IVCC is proud to announce the public arm of our Ag Forward fundraising campaign to support the construction of the Dr. Alfred E. Wisgoski Agricultural Education Center at IVCC.

We are incredibly thankful for the generous support of our community partners who have already pledged over $2.1 million to the Ag Forward campaign. Now we need your help to cross the finish line.

This state-of-the-art facility will do more than add space—it will transform how we teach and how students learn. It will strengthen our local workforce, support area farms and agribusinesses, and ensure that agriculture continues to thrive in our community for generations to come. With this investment, IVCC will stand at the forefront of agricultural education in Illinois, equipping students from our community to not only participate in the future of agriculture, but to lead it.

Your support brings us one step closer to making this vision a reality. Visit www.ivcc.edu/agforward to support the future of agricultural education at IVCC.

For more information, please contact Tracy Beattie at 815-224-0550 or [email protected].
