During the Board of Trustees meeting held April 23 at Spoon River College in Canton, outgoing student trustee Esmeralda “Esme” Uribe was recognized for her service as the 2024-2025 student trustee, and newly elected 2025-2026 student trustee Logan Booth was seated.

Booth, originally from Groveland, is residing in the Snapper Villas on the Canton Campus. He is a member of the baseball team, a student worker in the marketing department, and designs the graphics for athletics’ social media pages.

Booth describes himself as a good leader and a hard worker who has maintained good grades while juggling his obligations of studies, work, and athletics. He ran for the student trustee position because he felt it would be a valuable learning experience that would be beneficial as he goes forward, both in his academics and his future career. Booth plans to pursue a career in multi-media and graphic design.

Student trustees at Spoon River College attend monthly board meetings and represent the student body in the Student Government Association. Along with gaining leadership skills, trustees have opportunities to attend state trustee meetings and conferences. They serve one year, and receive a stipend towards their tuition and fees.
