Kishwaukee College realizes personal and professional well-being is crucial. As part of the Kish benefits package, the College offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
The EAP is a no-cost, early intervention program available to employees and their
immediate family members. This program provides free, confidential counseling to help
employees and their family members resolve personal problems that may affect their
health, well-being or job performance. The assistance is provided by licensed professional
counselors through solution-focused, short-term counseling and assessment with referral
to community resources. Employees are allowed up to three visits per incident per
fiscal year.
The Kishwaukee College Foundation has announced the creation of a new scholarship fund honoring the memory of 1998 nursing graduate, Cheryl Safford-Sawallisch. The scholarship provides support to Kishwaukee College nursing students, with preference given to single parents, those on a single income or those with low income.
Kishwaukee College is currently accepting nominations for the 2026 Impact Awards. The annual program recognizes Kish employees who exemplify the College’s mission and values through outstanding performance, service and dedication.
