The Rend Lake College Board of Trustees met last night and Claire Pytlinski of Waltonville was seated as the student member of the RLC Board of Trustees for the 2015-2016 academic year.  Pytlinski is a double major at RLC in Agricultural Production and Management, and Business.  The freshman is an active member in the Collegiate FFA as well as the Phi Theta Kappa and Sigma Phi honor societies.  Her future plans include transferring to a four-year university to get a degree in Ag Communications or Marketing.  Pytlinksi replaces outgoing student trustee Elijah Liske of Okawville, who was recognized with a plaque for his year of service.  Liske, an agriculture student as well, expressed his appreciation to the board for his experience over the past year as well as his respect for Rend Lake College.  “As of right now, I still plan on becoming a high school ag teacher, and I will definitely push my students to attend the best community college in Southern Illinois,” Liske said.
