ICCTA Lifelong Learning Award

2007 Recipient



Evelyn McKenna
Moraine Valley Community College


Moraine Valley Community College has been a source of personal and professional enrichment for Evelyn McKenna throughout her life.

During her 36-year career as an educational administrator, she relied upon MVCC for Spanish, digital photography, and computer literacy classes.

In 2004, when she entered the healthcare industry, the requirements of her new job led her back to Moraine Valley, where she discovered a new field of interest: medical coding.



Evelyn McKenna accepts ICCTA's 2007 Lifelong Learning Award from Moraine Valley Community College president Vernon Crawley.

She now plans to complete her Coding Specialist certificate this summer.

"My life has been re-shaped by Moraine Valley," McKenna says. "It has helped me find and explore this new venture, which allows me to have ‘a sit-down job for when I get old.'"
