OGLESBY – Former Illinois Valley Community College trustee Melissa Olivero of Peru will deliver the college’s May commencement address, President Jerry Corcoran announced at Thursday’s board meeting. Olivero, an administrative law judge, was elected twice and served the college from 2009 to 2019. She was board chair from May 2013 through April 2017.
“No one has been more loyal or shown more leadership than Melissa,” Corcoran said in July when Olivero announced she was stepping down from the board. “Sitting next to her when she was chair for four years was one of the highlights of my life.”
The 54th annual commencement will be at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 16 in the gymnasium.
