University of Illinois Springfield student-athletes came together to make a difference on Civic Engagement Day, assembling more than 1,000 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for PB&J Springfield, a local organization that provides food to community members in need throughout Springfield. Student-athletes from multiple UIS teams joined forces for the project, which was organized by UIS Athletics and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). The event is part of the department's ongoing commitment to service and community involvement.
