I chose JALC to pursue my educational career in elementary education because of the small class sizes, campus activities, and affordability!
I chose JALC because I wanted to have a smoother transition into the college life. Being able to go to a community college lets you explore your career options at a cheaper price. Community college saved a ton of stress, money, and risk!
I chose JALC because of the amazing people and the strong sense of community. The smaller class sizes let me build close relationships with my classmates and professors. It’s also affordable and close to home, which helps me stay connected with family and friends.
A new statewide report released by the Illinois Community College Board highlights the significant economic and social impact of John A. Logan College, underscoring the institution’s role in driving regional growth and student success.
“Because of John A. Logan College, I learned to help myself.” 💙
For our final Community College Month student spotlight, meet Omar Naser of Carbondale. JALC was a place he chose twice, first to begin his college journey, and later to return with a clearer goal and new purpose.
Now preparing to transfer to Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Omar’s story is a reminder that growth can come from new direction, second chances, and believing in yourself.

It’s okay to ask for help when school gets tough.
