The Automotive Service Technology program at Frontier Community College in Fairfield, Illinois has received ASE Training Program accreditation by the ASE Education Foundation. To achieve this coveted recognition, the school’s automotive training program underwent rigorous evaluation by the ASE Education Foundation.

A building on the campus of Frontier Community College has a new name thanks to the generosity of an area resident. Clemence Elizabeth Cox Hall, named in memory of the mother of Jerry Cox, will serve as the home for FCC’s Center for Nursing, Learning Resource Center, and Academic Success Center. “I wanted to do something to honor my mother and continue to honor nurses,” said Mr. Cox. “I hold nurses in high regard after serving in Vietnam and seeing firsthand what nurses do for our country. I still see how important nurses are through my own health while receiving care through VA services.
