Chloe Berna enjoys the University of Illinois Springfield because of the relationships she has been able to create. “I enjoy getting to know my professors and classmates in a more personal way and being able to really immerse myself in the community,” she said. Berna is the president of the psychology club, the treasurer of the Pre-Health Society and American Red Cross chapter. She also serves as a supplemental instruction leader for organic chemistry, is a resident assistant and a part of the Capital Scholars Honors Program. “I chose UIS because of the close-knit nature of a smaller campus,” she said. Following graduation, she plans to become a doctor and possibly earn a doctorate in organic chemistry.  

Leadership is lived at UIS. Every Day.
