The Lake Land College Board of Trustees nominated English Instructor Matt Landrus for the Illinois Community College Trustee Association (ICCTA) Outstanding Full-Time Faculty Award.

The Outstanding Full-Time Faculty Award is presented each year to an Illinois community college instructor who demonstrates excellence in teaching, program development, committee participation and community leadership. Each ICCTA member college is eligible to nominate one full-time faculty member each year for award consideration.

During his 27-year career, Landrus has led initiatives to reshape developmental writing and reading courses, helped create new class offerings and implemented innovative student mentor and job shadowing programs. He has served on numerous committees and task forces to help support college initiatives, including the establishment of standard syllabus guidelines and the development of incoming faculty. He also worked to create the Lake Land online Living Archive, a comprehensive collection of historic moments in the college’s history.

“Undoubtedly, Mr. Landrus is an extremely valuable asset to Lake Land College,” said Gary Cadwell, Lake Land College Board of Trustees Chair. “We want to honor his commitment to our students, faculty, staff and community.”
