“IC has given me a place to find my people, become more comfortable with myself, and grow as a person rather than just as a student.” #WhyIC

Kristen Costa is a senior from St. Joseph, Illinois majoring in Elementary Education.

"Being an IC student means being present whether it's at athletic events or community events. Being present is a super important experience to being an IC student and something you really have to embrace and want to do."

“My favorite memory at #IllinoisCollege was when the Men's Basketball team won Conference last year. Everyone was excited about the win. It was cool to see all the energy in the gym from the fans and the student section."
