"My grandfather went to EIU and my parents attended as well. I chose to attend because I went to some open houses and met Devin Frank. Originally I was going to be a psychology major but after talking to Frank for most of the time during the open house, I had decided to change to a Philosophy major."Joey WalkerPhilosophy | Class of 2026
