“IC to me means family. Having a low student-to-professor ratio was something that intrigued me. Coming to Illinois College and having the connections with professors, my bosses here in the CSIEB, my brothers in Sigma Pi, and all the people I've met on the soccer team, it's created a great community around all the shared spaces I've been involved with.” #WhyIC

Payton Lanning is a senior from Lincoln, Illinois majoring in Education and minoring in Sociology and History.

“My Favorite IC memory is winning conference for men's soccer this year. I was part of the first recruiting class for Coach Philpott, so being part of that foundation and seeing us grow throughout the years was something cool and memorable.”

“Three words to describe my experience here at #IllinoisCollege would be: short, memorable, and impactful.”
