Through the Student Philanthropy Program, students lead efforts to establish an annual Student Body Gift. Students experience philanthropy first-hand, learning how their student experiences are made possible by private support while gaining professional development and interpersonal skills.
The Student Philanthropy Program's objectives are to:

I attended UIS as a graduate student from 2001-2004, while also teaching full time at Athens Middle School.
During my time at UIS, I was able to form great relationships with my professors and fellow classmates.
The former site of the Elliott Avenue Baptist Church, one of the finer examples of mid-century modern architecture in Springfield, has been reborn as the Grant Conservatory for Music and Dance, an inspiring, safe place for young artists to learn, experiment and grow. With ingenuity, planning and hard work, the former sanctuary, church offices and other areas have been transformed into a unique and exceptional performance space with practice rooms, office space and more.

I had a great experience at UIS. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to learn both Human Development Counseling as well as Marriage and Family Therapy. While there, I was able to work in the mental health field to obtain real world experience as well.
