Irronda Haney and
Melissa Saeed
and staff at the Moraine Valley Education Center
at Blue Island
"Melissa Saeed was very encouraging when I first thought of attending Moraine
Valley. I was a returning older student so the positive reinforcement was a big
help. The staff also was very helpful from the receptionist to Irronda Haney who
provided important information. The staff at the Blue Island facility made me
feel like part of the family and I will never forget the help and encouragement
that helped me graduate."

Ali
Riphagen
Academic Advisor, Academic Advising Center
“Returning to school after 10 years was not easy. I originally just came to see
Ali Riphagen about what I had left to take to get my degree—as a possible New
Year’s resolution. She was incredibly helpful and I enrolled right then and
there. I don’t know if I would have ever gotten my degree if it wasn’t for her
encouragement. She rocks!”

Mary Jo Shepard
Financial Aid Expediter
“Mary Jo made a big difference in my life and in my family’s. She is so
dedicated to help students and I appreciate that she took the time to help me.
My mom started at Moraine Valley and she is my mother’s advisor, too. I did
graduate, but I still go to her for advice.”

Nicholas Shizas
Instructor, Psychology
“He was my favorite professor at Moraine Valley and always made class fun and
interesting. Without a doubt, Nick made a difference for me. He brought life and
class to a new perspective."

Alicea
Toso
Recruiter, Admissions Office
“I met Alicea Toso at a college fair at my high school. She was just so
energetic and happy telling me all about Moraine Valley. She made me
want to come to this school.”
