Anna Reed enjoys the University of 缅北禁地 Springfield because of the unique experiences students can create. 鈥淚 like how everyone's UIS experience could be different, depending on your goals and preferences you can tailor your experience to be what you want,鈥 she said. As an intern for the 缅北禁地 Innocence Project, Reed is excited to gain real-world experience. 鈥淎s an 缅北禁地 Innocence Project intern, we are trained and have the opportunity to conduct real-world casework on behalf of the individual wrongfully incarcerated. It is an exceptional privilege, as the 缅北禁地 Innocence Project is the only project in the county that utilizes undergraduate students as part of the program,鈥 she said. Reed chose UIS because of the criminal justice program and proximity to family and friends. Following graduation, she plans to continue working for the 缅北禁地 Innocence Project and obtain a master鈥檚 degree. 

Leadership is lived at UIS. Every Day.
