Alumnus of the Last Decade Award
Our Alumnus of the Last Decade Award is a way to recognize and honor an outstanding ICC Alumnus who has completed 30 credit hours or a certificate or degree at ICC within the last decade. Recipients have demonstrated achievements in his/her career field, committed to improving education in the ICC district, or outstanding service to our community.
Meet the 2025 Winner – Jazmine Stubblefield
After earning her degree from Illinois Central College in 2015, Jazmine transferred to the University of Montevallo in Alabama, where she played basketball and earned her bachelor’s degree in biology with a minor in chemistry. She continued her education at Lipscomb University, graduating summa cum laude with a master’s degree in biomolecular science and a concentration in cancer biology.
Jazmine went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Surgery at Meharry Medical College, finishing second in her class and receiving multiple honors, including the National Health Service Corps Scholarship and the Dental Health Public Service Award. She is currently completing her pediatric dentistry certificate at Yale University.
Her passion for helping others extends beyond academics through community health initiatives in Jamaica, Guatemala, and across the United States. She has volunteered with programs such as Give Kids a Smile Day, Hygiene for the Homeless, and Get Out and Love Science.
Jazmine has wanted to be a dentist since getting her front teeth knocked out at 8 years old and realizing the dentist could fix her up and still “make her look pretty.” Jazmine’s perseverance, resilience, faith, and family support have helped keep her on track to reach her goals.
