What was your overall UIS experience like?
My experience was life changing. I learned so much about myself and other people around me. UIS allowed me to explore so many avenues of my creativity within my major that added to my success today. I was involved in SOFA, Kinky Curly Hair Club, The Journal Student Newspaper, and Necessary Step Mentor program. I truly developed my character and identity on that campus, and used every resource available to me to make me the woman I am today.
