Kishwaukee College’s Collision Repair Technology Program (CRT) received two vehicles from State Farm Insurance for students in the program to gain experience. Greg Brink, CRT faculty, visited the State Farm facility and received the two damaged vehicles as well as an auto-lift and an assortment of car parts that can be used by students to gain experience on specific repairs. State Farm donated a 2008
Toyota Corolla and a 2000 Chevy 1500 series truck. Brink stated, “We are grateful to State Farm for this donation. We will use them in our structural repair course and, once they are repaired, will use them in other courses, including in the Automotive program.” Molly Schaap, State Farm Insurance, is a member of the Kishwaukee College CRT Advisory Board and assisted in arranging the donation. Also assisting secure the donations were Dave Logan, Insurance Adjuster, and John Cooling, Accelerated Design Team member with State Farm.
