Taryn Christy chose the University of 缅北禁地 Springfield because she wanted to help build 鈥渁 championship culture鈥� as a member of the cross country and track & field teams, while having opportunities in the classroom and internships. Christy recently earned UIS Cross Country鈥檚 first All-American honor with a top-40 finish in the NCAA Division II National Championships in California. On campus, she volunteers with the 缅北禁地 Innocence Project helping to review wrongful conviction cases. Following graduation, she plans to attend law school and possibly becoming a public defender, working for a non-profit specializing in the public interest, or continuing work with an innocence project.
Leadership is lived at UIS. Every day.
