Megan Little loves the close-knit community at the University of Illinois Springfield, especially among the athletes. Little is part of the UIS women’s soccer team, a student associate at Brookens Library and an intern with the Illinois Innocent Project (IIP). She chose UIS for the academic and athletic opportunities. “I was given the opportunity to continue playing the sport I love at a collegiate level,” she said. Following graduation, Little plans to attend graduate school to earn a master’s degree in forensic psychology, while working with the IIP.
