Tuesday, we celebrated the dedication of the Dr. Marilyn Toliver Early Childhood Education Center at John A. Logan College.
Dr. Toliver was surrounded by her family, friends, and colleagues past and present as we honored her incredible impact on education.
The ceremony was filled with heartfelt words from those who spoke of Dr. Toliver not only as an extraordinary educator for more than three decades, but also a dear friend. Her influence is immeasurable, having taught hundreds of students who have gone on to lead thousands of children across southern Illinois and beyond.
Provost Dr. Stephanie Chaney Hartford shared a quote from Maya Angelou that perfectly captured her legacy: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Thank you, Dr. Toliver, for your lasting legacy of compassion, excellence, and care for not just young learners, but for everyone around you. 💙
