Greetings from the Illini Union Board!  My name is Melissa Gold and I’m excited to be the 2009 Vice President for Programs. I am currently a senior pursuing a major in English & minors in both Political Science and Gender and Women’s Studies. Following graduation, I plan on attending law school. Besides student programming, I am also an active member of my sorority Alpha Epsilon Phi and executive board member of Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Honor Fraternity.

 

This year’s board is full of creative and enthusiastic directors who are excited to bring great programs to the University of Illinois campus. We are committed to providing entertaining and engaging events that appeal to and represent the diversity within the University’s student body.

 

The directors and I are constantly looking for new ideas and are always interested to hear what you suggest! Whether you have a great recommendation for a new act, would like to get involved on our committees, or are interested in co-sponsoring with IUB please don’t hesitate to contact me. I am looking forward to another fantastic year on the Illini Union Board. GO ORANGE AND BLUE!
