Outstanding Student Named at Oakton Skokie Campus
Phil Cronin, a resident of Elmwood Park and full-time student studying fire science at Oakton Community College, is the Outstanding Student of the Semester at the Ray Hartstein Campus. The honor comes with a gift certificate to the bookstore, and a reserved parking space donated by Nancy Prendergast, dean of the Ray Hartstein Campus.
"Phil is always very attentive to the needs and welfare of our students, faculty, and staff," said Prendergast. "We have several Emeritus students who attend classes in wheelchairs, and Phil always tries to be available to help them."
Prendergast noted that during a winter snowstorm, Cronin, also a part-time Public Safety employee at Oakton, helped start a faculty member's car, which failed again five blocks from campus. Cronin carried a heavy battery charger back to the employee's car and got it restarted.
Cronin's experience as a student employee with Instructional Media Services (IMS) also makes him a valuable problem-solver for students, faculty, and staff, whenever trouble arises with audio-visual equipment or event logistics, Prendergast added.
