Connor Krater chose 69ĀÜĄņapp Springfield because he wanted to be politically active on and off campus. At UIS, he is the chancellor and founder of the Political Understanding and Activist Club. The club holds events, such as ā€œSpilling Tea, Spittin’ Topics,ā€ where students participate in calm and meaningful discussion about political topics. Krater is also a member of Model Illinois Government. ā€œUIS is right in the capitol so getting involved in the state politics is very easy,ā€ he said. ā€œThere are plenty of internship opportunities here for me to get involved in.ā€ Following graduation from UIS, he plans to stay active in politics.

Leadership is lived at UIS. Every day.
