Rachel Grasher Elected JALC Student Trustee

Rachel Grasher of Desoto, Illinois, was recently elected as the student representative to the John A. Logan College Board of Trustees. She will be officially seated at the board meeting on April 22 and her term will last one year.

"I'm thrilled that I was elected to be the student trustee," Grasher said. "I plan to be a voice for the student body at Logan and share with the Board of Trustees the concerns and issues important to students in order to help improve the educational environment."

Grasher is in her first semester at Logan and says she is enjoying the College's diversity.

"I just started taking classes here in January, and I really like it," she said. "I've met a lot of new people from not only southern Illinois but also from different states and different countries. I'm learning about new cultures and ideas, and I think it's wonderful to be at a college where I can experience so many new and interesting things."
