Randi Hirschel chose the University of Illinois Springfield because of the small class sizes and the ease of getting involved on campus. She is co-founder and president of the Jew Crew, the Jewish registered student organization on campus. She’s also a member of Phi Alpha Delta, an international law fraternity. Following her bachelor’s degree, she plans on applying to the UIS Graduate Public Service Internship Program in hopes of interning with a state government agency. She ultimately plans to work in the environmental studies field.

Leadership is lived at UIS. Every day.
