Six Illinois Valley Community College students took their case to the Illinois Statehouse recently during a Student Lobby Day.

They questioned state senators and representatives about key student issues, visited the State Treasurer’s Office, learned from professional lobbyists what they do, and attended a session to watch legislators debate bills.
