"My undergraduate years in the KSR Department were such a rewarding experience. My favorite class was KSR 4450, where we worked hands-on in the ATP Lab with other EIU students. The KSR professors provided us with many opportunities to learn about different healthcare careers and gain insight from professionals. EIU is unique in offering a 16 week internship during the last semester of college, where I gained valuable knowledge and observed patients in real-world settings. My internship solidified my career choice and as I now pursue my master’s degree for Occupational Therapy, I am incredibly grateful for how well the department has prepared me for my future."Angelina SemeriaExercise Science: Pre-Occupational Therapy Pathway | Class of 2026
