Heartland is the youngest community college in Illinois.

“Developing strategic ways to communicate effectively with all these different HCC audiences will offer a wonderful creative challenge,” says Humphreys,
“While I am very excited about this new chapter in my professional life, one of the things I most value about my time at the College of Business is the wide array of friendships I’ve developed with students, colleagues and alumni. I will miss those regular opportunities to connect with them,” she added.
There will be a wine and cheese reception for Amy on January 26, 2012, 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm in SFHB 412. Everyone is invited to help give her a warm send off. Please share this information with others who you believe may want to be part of this celebration.
