History of Sauk

Sauk Valley Community College was created by the citizens of Public Community College District #506 through public referendum in June 1965. Since that time, Sauk has expanded its programs to provide opportunities not only in the traditional transfer areas, but also in vocational-technical, adult and continuing education, community service, and career education. In recent years, Sauk's commitment to the public has included intercollegiate athletics and cultural offerings.

Board of Trustees

The College is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees elected by residents of the district and operating under the general supervision of the Illinois Community College Board. A student trustee, representing student interests, serves as a non-voting member of the board.
