Through the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences and my majors’ departments, I have had countless life-changing experiences. How can I do all I do and still graduate in four years? I utilized the excellent resources that our college has to offer.

The LAS Honors program has supplemented my academics, but I have been even more fulfilled outside of the academic realm of the program. The James Scholar Student Advisory Board (JSSAB) has been a big part of my involvement in LAS Honors. The group of students in JSSAB work together to build community among James Scholars and encourage connections among students while exposing them to organizations, events, and opportunities available on campus.
The LAS Honors Program has many advantages at the U of I. Josie Thannert, a sophomore studying global studies and gender & women’s studies, shares a few.
