Who remembers the COD Library looking like this?

Throwing it back to the early 2000s, when Windows XP, 3.5-inch floppy disks (the hard plastic ones!), and Napster were all the rage, and Apple's Safari browser was the new kid on the block!

Happy Birthday College of DuPage!

On September 25, 1967, College of DuPage officially opened its doors and what a transformation over the past 59 years.

These photos take us back to the early days of COD, when the Kuhn and Lambert farms were part of the land that would become the College’s Glen Ellyn campus.

Happy 59th Birthday, COD! 💚

Money that funds student competitions, conferences, campus visits, field trips and materials students need for classes has been slashed in half, without notice, according to professors who called attention to it at the most recent board of trustees meeting.

Less stress. More success. A quick History class visit turned into smiles, laughter, and a much-needed reset!

History Professor Maria Ritzema recently brought her World Civilization Since 1300 students to experience the Calming Corner in COD's Counseling Services (SSC 3341), and it was nothing but smiles, relaxation, and a chance to reset before diving back into class.

The Calming Corner is a free resource designed to help students decompress, recharge, and improve their well-being. Students can enjoy:

* A massage chair that's even better than the ones at the mall
* Light and sound therapy
* Buddha Board
* Mini Zen Garden
* Aromatherapy

Faculty: Consider bringing your class for a quick visit or remind students that this space is available whenever they need a mental reset. Sometimes a few minutes of self-care can make all the difference in a student's day.

Located in SSC 3341

Governor JB Pritzker and his running mate, Christian Mitchell, recently visited College of DuPage’s McAninch Arts Center (MAC), where they received the endorsement of the Illinois Education Association (IEA) in the 2026 gubernatorial race.

CODFA was well represented! CODFA President David Goldberg took the stage to speak during the event, while fellow CODFA members could be seen and heard cheering and showing their support from the crowd.

During his remarks, Gov. Pritzker reflected on his own family history, sharing how his ancestors fled violence against Jews in search of safety and opportunity in America. He connected their story to the American dream and the importance of ensuring future generations have access to opportunity through a strong public education system.

Thank you to the Illinois Education Association for bringing this important conversation to College of DuPage!

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has secured an endorsement from one of the state's biggest teachers' unions as a fight over education funding brews in Springfield. But Chicago remains one of the districts short of its funding goal, prompting backlash from the city's teacher union. WGN's Tahman Bradley rep...

COD CIT Professor Robert Plank joined more than 500 Illinois delegates and educators from all 50 states at the 164th NEA Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly in Denver this past July.

Delegates tackled more than 100 new business items, elected national leadership, and saw firsthand how nearly 3 million NEA members have a voice in shaping the organization.

Robert also volunteered to work the flags, helping Illinois delegates identify the delegation’s recommended positions on agenda items during voting.

The key takeaway from participating in the NEA RA was the opportunity to collaborate with educators nationwide, participate in the decision-making process, and see how our collective voice can impact issues facing higher education.

Who doesn't love thrifted and recycled clothing, especially when it's free?

Please consider donating your gently used clothing to the College of DuPage FreeCycle Clothing Pop-Up, where members of the COD community can browse and take what they need at no cost.

Simply hang your donations on the rack just outside the Student Life Office in the Student Resource Center (SRC). If the racks are full, don't worry! Clothing moves quickly, so check back in a day or two and there will likely be room for more donations.

Your donation helps reduce waste, supports sustainability, and gives fellow Chaparrals the opportunity to discover new-to-them styles.

Clean out your closet, pass it on, and help make someone's day!
