Mary Elizabeth Perrigo

Mary Elizabeth Perrigo, M.A. Legal Studies Master’s Degree

Ms. Perrigo chose the Legal Studies Master’s Degree program because at the time she was employed in a management position with a State agency in Springfield and, while she had a desire to continue her education, she thought law school would be too limiting for her future.

Donna Pedro Lennon '80

Donna Pedro Lennon, M.A. Legal Studies Master’s Degree -1980

Donna chose the Legal Studies Master’s Degree Program at the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) for several reasons including her interest in political and legal issues and public affairs.
