One of the most memorable aspects of the Illinois State University experience is the opportunity to connect with faculty and staff who become mentors and friends. Alumni from all generations can remember someone from campus who invested in their future and made a difference in their life.

Reconnecting with that person is a thrill for all involved. Let the Illinois State staff help you do just that through the magazine’s Where Are They Now column. If there is someone you would like to find, just submit the request to Susan Blystone at sjblyst@IllinoisState.edu, call (309) 438-2667, or mail to 1101 N. Main Street, Normal, IL 61790.
