Next Big Thing Moves to Clinton

In 2012, Eastern Iowa Community Colleges organized and hosted its first “Next Big Thing” event in Davenport. Nearly 1,000 area high school students participated in the day-long event with workshops focused on preparing students for the transitions they will face after graduation.

This year the event moves to Clinton. Once again high school students from the surrounding area will gather to learn about the world of work and preparing for college.

Clinton Community College will be the host this time around on Thursday, October 25. The keynote speaker will be the popular youth motivational speaker Grant Baldwin.

Helping to make Next Big Thing possible in Clinton are these sponsors:

• Paul B. Sharar Foundation
• Iowa American Water
• Tri City Building Trades
