North Central College and U.S. Congressman Bill Foster will host an open forum on the topic of climate change May 6 at the College’s Science Center, 131 S. Loomis Street in Naperville. Tom Skilling, chief meteorologist at WGN, is a featured speaker.

A crowd of more than 200 people representing North Central College, the community and the region streamed into the new Science Center at 8 a.m. Monday morning for their first look at classrooms, labs, gathering spaces and Au Bain Pan café.

North Central College is pioneering the way it equips students of every major to learn what they need today—and how they will work tomorrow—through its new state-of-the-art Science Center opening March 27.

As the Science Center nears completion, a major building project will transform Kroehler into a new home for the School of Business and Entrepreneurship at North Central College.

Starting a business from scratch is not easy, but a new and unique business accelerator is creating a “win-win” for both community entrepreneurs and college students seeking to become innovators and entrepreneurs.
