Maggie George enjoys the University of Illinois Springfield because of the small class sizes,
academic support, and faculty within the graduate program. George is a member of the women’s
track & field team, Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Leadership for Life and is an
employee for the Volunteer and Civic Engagement Center as part of the UIS Graduate
Assistantship Program. When asked why she chose UIS she said, “It’s close to home, affordable
and gives me the opportunity to help grow the track and field program.” Following graduation
from UIS, she plans to work for a psychologist and eventually go into private practice.

Leadership is lived at UIS. Every Day.
