"I chose to attend Eastern IL University because of its strong sense of pride they built in this small community. I love the EIU community because they are supportive and caring and have uplifted me through hard times and provided me great opportunities to connect with others through programs such as the University Board, Panther Leads, and volunteering at the EIU Food Pantry. ... I knew this was a place where I could challenge myself, step out of my comfort zone, and prepare for my future career."Delores JordanClass of 2026, Hospitality and Tourism major
