Illinois State Senator Mattie Hunter and Catalyst Board of Directors Chair Mr. Larry Williams (pictured below with scholars) attended the ceremony. State Senator Hunter shared inspiring words about her life journey and encouraged scholars to do anything in life that they set their minds to. We appreciate the support and encouragement of State Senator Hunter and Board Chair Williams!
