Would you like to come speak to current staffers?

If you are a working professional that is interested in coming to Illini Media to give a pep talk to any of our current staffers, we'd LOVE to have you. Come share your views with our staff about what it's like in the working world. Give them tips, answer their questions, and help them make the most of their experience at Illini Media so it will benefit them down the road. Our students are particularly inspired by alums, and for good reason - you can relate to exactly what they are going through right now and can give them advice on how to prepare for the future.

If you're interesting in coming to speak, or if you'd just like to stop by for a tour, please contact Kit Donahue at 217-337-8323.
