We say Champaign-Urbana, Chicago workforce management consultant Airies Davis says ... Illinois Residence Halls.

“My dorm evokes fond memories of my undergrad experiences,” she says. “As a young adult, I gained critical character skills related to collaboration, conflict resolution and relationship building.

“Moreover, ISR provided a conduit  toward forging 30-plus years of lifelong friendships during the Summer Bridge program. Being in a supportive environment during my ISR stay propelled my academic trajectory from Summer Bridge to Illinois Executive MBA and later USC Ed.D.

“I am forever grateful for the experience.”
