Adjunct Instructor Named Blue Island Man of the Year for 2015

Adjunct instructor Justin Antos was named Blue Island Man of the Year for 2015 by the Blue Island Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Antos, who has served as an adjunct instructor at Trinity for approximately one year, teaches the K-12 Music Methods course in the Adult Studies program.

It was his work as the band director at Eisenhower High School in Blue Island that garnered Antos the recognition by the chamber. He has turned the band program into a champion during his tenure at the school.

“Being named Man of the Year for such a wonderful community is a huge honor, and I am beyond humbled for all of the support I have received throughout the past six years in Blue Island,” Antos said.  

During his time at Trinity, Antos has developed positive mentoring relationships with his students. “I hope my students realize they should do what makes them happy and not settle on something that does not excite them.”

Adult Studies Professor Bob Wennberg said, “He’s extremely dedicated and committed to his students. It’s been very evident that he wants to help them succeed.”

Antos is a doctoral candidate at Auburn University in the music education department
