Abigail Frohning chose the University of Illinois Springfield for the Medical Laboratory Science Program and the “impressive” placement rate after graduating. “The small class sizes and inclusive campus life makes it so easy to feel right at home,” she said. Frohning is vice president, co-treasurer and event coordinator of the Medical Laboratory Science Club at UIS and a member of the Capital Scholars Honors Program (CAP). She is currently employed by Memorial Medical Center and Lincoln Prairie Behavior Health as a phlebotomist. “The thing I love the most about UIS are the friendships I have made through my programs, both MLS and CAP Honors,” she said. Following graduation from UIS, she plans to pass her BOC exam for Medial Laboratory Science and work at Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in the laboratory.

Leadership is lived at UIS. Every day.
