Impact
I knew the minute I stepped on campus that I would spend the next four years of my life at EIU. Everyone always told me that I wouldn’t have to worry about picking a school because the right school would choose me and that’s what happened with me and EIU. Being a Panther has provided me with so many opportunities I wouldn’t have gotten elsewhere.
Thank you to the donors of the Nilsen Research Presentation Award for giving me the opportunity to travel and present my research on a topic I’m incredibly passionate about. This is something I once dreamed about and now it has become a reality for me. Thank you.
