Future Plans: Become a family and marriage counselor

Madelyn Laughlin chose the University of Illinois Springfield because “it was just the right size, not too big or small.” “I enjoy that UIS feels like a tight-knit community, much like my hometown,” she said. On campus, Laughlin is president of Lambda Pi Eta (the Communication Honor Society) and is a fundraising coordinator for Alternative Spring Break. Following graduation, she plans to pursue a master’s degree in Human Development Counseling at UIS in order to become a family and marriage counselor.

Leadership is lived at UIS. Every day.
