Bill Harmon receives Golden Owl award
Bill Harmon with daughter Mackenzie, LLCC alum, who will begin her own ag teaching career this fall at Illini Bluffs High School
Bill Harmon, LLCC professor of agronomy, recently received the Golden Owl award for postsecondary instructors at the Illinois Association of Vocational Agriculture Instructors Conference in Carbondale June 19-21.
The award recognizes ag educators who devote countless hours to positively impact the lives of their students. This was the first year the award included a category for which post-secondary community college and university instructors were eligible. The Golden Owl award has been sponsored by Nationwide Insurance since 2020. Before this, the award was known as the Excellence in Teaching Award.
Harmon has taught agriculture at LLCC since 1997. Before joining the college, he taught high school agriculture at Morrisonville for seven years. Harmon is an LLCC alum and earned a bachelor’s degree in ag education and a master’s degree in agronomy from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Congratulations, Bill!
