Triton College's Dean Martin Runs the Chicago Marathon for Students

Triton College thanks and congratulates Quincy Martin III, dean of Student Services, for his dedication in serving underprivileged students. Dean Martin raised funds for Training for Trojans, a charitable effort to raise scholarship dollars for Triton students, by running in the Chicago Marathon.
Training for Trojans raised $1300 to date, with more contributions anticipated in the near future. Donations will also come from the Chicago Marathon, as 40 volunteers provided support for Martin at the event. The phenomenal group of volunteers, led and organized by Vice President of Student Affairs Doug Olson, consisted of Triton students, alumni, faculty, staff and administration.
Martin, who has 10 years of experience running in marathons, said, "This was the most rewarding marathon I have experienced. This was especially meaningful for me because of the opportunity to run for a reason, and the purpose will directly benefit Triton students."
Martin trained for four months to prepare for the Chicago Marathon and finished in the middle of the more than 36,000 participants. He will continue his Training for Trojans effort with more creative ways of retaining funds, while keeping a health and wellness theme.
