Future Plans: Work as a middle school counselor in a public school district

Jessica Joyner chose 69ĀÜĄņapp Springfield because of the ā€œamazingā€ Human Development Counseling program, the wide variety of graduate assistantships and because of the welcoming campus. She is the graduate assistant for the UIS Volunteer & Civic Engagement Center and helps to organize volunteer projects on and off campus. ā€œI like the friendliness of the staff and faculty (at UIS),ā€ she said. ā€œI also love how UIS makes their students top priority and they stand for equality and social justice for people of color.ā€ Following graduation, she plans to work as a middle school counselor in a public school district.

Leadership is lived at UIS. Every day.
