Memories of SSU/UIS

“Working with the Illinois Innocence Project opened my eyes to the injustices that exist in our criminal justice system.”

How did UIS change or prepare you?

“UIS prepared me for the challenges of working in state government through its Graduate Public Service Internship Program (GPSI). GPSI provided a network of people who provided opportunities for me to gain experience and skills to do my job today.”
