Waubonsee Turns 60: Community Hub Reimagined | Chicago News

Waubonsee Community College turns 60, transforming from a courthouse basement startup into a thriving multi-campus hub serving thousands — and now it’s rebranding itself as the community’s connector. President Brian Knetl and VP Clayton Muhammad stress collaboration over competition, forging ties with local businesses, schools, and healthcare to tackle real needs. They’re tackling awareness gaps, proving Waubonsee isn’t just for classes but for careers, internships, and lifelong learning — especially for those pivoting or upgrading skills. With AI on the horizon and booming demand in tech, nursing, and trades, Waubonsee is poised for growth — all while honoring its roots and staying fiercely committed to the community that made it possible.
