“We know transportation can be a significant barrier for students pursuing their educational goals. We are excited to partner with the City of Macomb to expand access to Spoon River College and give students another opportunity to connect with the resources and services they need to succeed. This is a great example of what can happen when community partners come together to support student success,” said Holly Norton, Vice President of Educational and Student Services at Spoon River College.
