Dr. Robert J. English

A graduate of Elgin Community College, he served 18 years as a business officer at
Triton, Morton, and Joliet colleges.
From 1984 to 1990 English was the inaugural chair of the Prairie State 2000 Authority,
which funded many colleges' workforce training programs. In 1989 he was named to the
Illinois Board of Higher Education, where he has proven to be an eloquent proponent of
community colleges and the "new majority student."
English also represented the higher education community on the Illinois Human Resource
Investment Council from 1993 to 2000, serving as its co-chair from 1997 to 2000.
