Without our valued partners and sponsors, The Ivy League Connection would be nothing more than a wild idea in the minds of well meaning people. The Ivy League Connection would be unable to do anything with our students if it were not for the dedicated hard work of our partners in the District Offices and at our high schools.

Our sponsors have generously stepped forward year after year to show their support for the youth in the WCCUSD by providing the financial means to make the ILC a reality. Providing the funds for the ILC would normally be enough but many of our sponsors also step forward to serve as mentors to our students and sit as interview panelists to help select who will be a part of the ILC.

For all of the help and assistance from everyone,
we extend our acknowledgement and appreciation.
