Choosing a college major can feel like a huge decision—one that feels like it determines the rest of your life. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to. Many students need extra time to explore their interests and decide to enroll as “undecided.”
Donna Bull is an admissions and records coordinator (degree audits).
Can you give me a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?
After spending five years teaching general music, band and choir in Sangamon County, I realized my passion was in higher education. Seeking opportunities to contribute to student success, I am now grateful to be part of the registrar's office at the UIS, where I can help students achieve their academic goals.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Choosing the right university isn’t just about academics. It’s also about location. The University of Illinois Springfield offers a unique advantage for our students. We are home to a campus in the heart of Illinois that makes exploring some of the Midwest’s most exciting cities easy and convenient. For example, Chicago and St. Louis are just a few hours away.
You may not have started your college journey at UIS, but you can still earn a University of Illinois degree by transferring. UIS offers countless opportunities for academic growth, campus involvement and career advancement.
