ULLIN, IL (March 17, 2023) – Shawnee Community College would like to announce that the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has recognized the College with the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the fiscal year 2023 budget.
“This award represents a significant achievement by Shawnee Community College. It reflects the governing body’s and staff’s commitment to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting,” said Executive Director/CEO of the Government Finance Officers Association Chris Morrill.

“This is an amazing honor for Shawnee Community College and reflects the hard work and dedication of many people on our campus. It’s important for Shawnee Community College to operate under a balanced budget to continue providing quality education and services to everyone in our community,” said Shawnee Community College Vice President of Administrative Services Chris Clark.
