President's Message

Welcome to Frontier Community College!

I’m honored to serve as President of a college that is deeply committed to student success and community growth. Since 1976, FCC has provided affordable, high-quality education to learners of all ages and goals.

At Frontier, we believe education is more than just gaining knowledge—it’s about building the character and real-world skills needed to make a positive impact.

Whether you're preparing to transfer to a university, enter the workforce, return to school, or take a class for personal enrichment, we’re here to support you. Our experienced faculty and caring staff are dedicated to helping you succeed through hands-on learning, personalized guidance, and flexible options - including in-person, hybrid, and online courses that fit your life.

As part of the Illinois Eastern Community Colleges district, we’re proud to serve our region with strong programs and meaningful community connections. We take great pride in the impact we make, on campus, in the classroom, and throughout the communities we serve.

I invite you to explore all that FCC has to offer. We’re ready to help you take the next step—whatever your goals may be.

Sincerely,

Sharmila Kakac, Ed.D.    
President of Frontier Community College
