Jessica Jungels is the president of Club Volleyball and a member of the Capital Scholars Honors Program at the University of Illinois Springfield. “I chose UIS because I love the size of the campus and the smaller classes,” she said. When asked about what she likes most about UIS she said, “I like that we can get to know our professors and fellow students because of the size.” Following graduation from UIS, she plans on returning to school for her master’s in social work.
