"EIU’s Public Relations major taught me so much about the value of collaboration, creativity, and community. Our professors created an environment where we could share ideas, think creatively, and connect what we were learning to the world around us. What made the program even more special was how supportive our professors were. They genuinely care about their students and want to see us succeed. Their encouragement gave me the confidence to grow personally and professionally. I’m so grateful for the professors, classmates, and experiences that made my time as a public relations major so meaningful!"Alexis JohnsonPublic Relations | Class of 2026, Community Relations Specialist, Central Illinois Foodbank
