Triton's President's Leadership Academy Unveils Banner Campaign

The Triton College President's Leadership Academy 2010 kicked off its campaign project to create a greater awareness of Triton within the community with a banner unveiling ceremony May 20 adjacent to the main entrance of the River Grove campus.
Triton College President Dr. Patricia Granados unveiled the first banner to the crowd of students, staff and community members in attendance for the event. Before displaying the banner, Dr. Granados praised the academy for their efforts.
"I'm very proud of our Leadership Academy 2010," Granados said. "They worked very hard as a team on this project for the betterment of the college."
The academy selected the banner project as their initiative to promote Triton College in high traffic areas throughout the communities the college serves. This goal will be accomplished in several phases.
The first phase of this project is complete with banners hung in front of Triton College, in River Grove at the intersection of River Rd. and Grand Ave., and in Melrose Park at the intersections of North and Fifth, and North and First avenues.
The banner design will complement Triton's Achieving the Dream efforts to promote student success initiatives.
River Grove Village President Marilynn May and Melrose Park Mayor Ronald Serpico were on hand for the ceremony as both municipalities worked with the academy to display the banners in their respective villages.
"Triton College is a very important part of our town," May said. "I'm very appreciative of the educational values of the school and the esthetic beauty of the campus. The banners look outstanding and River Grove is proud to be a part of this."
"The village of Melrose Park is thrilled to be involved with this project," Serpico said. "The banners are located at extremely busy intersections and I also want to acknowledge our Public Works Department for their efforts. It's always great working with Triton and I'm happy we were able to make this happen."
The Triton College President's Leadership Academy is an annual program designed to build leaders from within the college. By bringing together employees from various employee groups, a sense of teamwork and camaraderie is established, thus setting forth a future that is supported by committed leaders, realizing and fulfilling the mission and vision of Triton College.
