INA, Ill. (Sept. 21, 2021) - Rend Lake College has named Sept. 22, 2021 Mr. A Day after Gene ‘Mr. A’ Alexander, acknowledging his years of dedication and financial support to RLC students. 

To celebrate, RLC and the RLC Foundation are inviting students, faculty and staff to a free lunch and get together on campus with our long-time friend and supporter, Mr. A. We're celebrating from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 22 at Warrior Way

Mr. A has helped nearly 350 students through his annual scholarship gifts. He recently made a large contribution to his existing endowment scholarship that will offer support for many decades to come.

One week ago, the Rend Lake College Board of Trustees approved a resolution to honor Mr. A and establish Sept. 22, 2021 as Mr. A Day.
