Hi and Welcome to the Illini Union Board!

 

My name is Mariam Rizk and I am the 2009 Director of Progressive Programs, which is one of the most diverse and exciting areas here at IUB!  I am a junior at UIUC and my major is French Commercial Studies with a concentration in Business Management and Marketing.  I am also hoping to pursue minors in International Studies and Business.  My idea of an Amazing day would be to meet with the Fabulous Progressive Programs Committee, then head home and call my puppy while watching about 5-6 hours of really bad T.V shows that I can’t seem to get enough of!

 

Progressive Programs consists of LGBT Programs, Green Initiatives Programs and Women’s Programs. All three areas couldn’t be more different and unique, but they all share the same level of excitement! We plan fun events like the Drag Show and Earth Week and bring many famous guest speakers and performers to campus.  Our goal is to entertain while also bringing awareness to various issues facing the campus and today’s communities.

 

New members are always welcome and we would LOVE to hear any new ideas you may have!  So come and plan events with us, I promise this will one of the most fun and unique experiences of your life!
