About Jillian: Hey everyone! I’m from Niantic, CT and graduated from UConn in 2016 with a degree in History! But, I entered as a Biology major and after taking Chem, Calc, and Bio on Day 1…I dropped all of my classes and rebuilt my schedule—I just knew it wasn’t the right fit. As a student, I was able to get an internship in the Academic Achievement Center which was one of the most impactful experiences I had. Now, I work to expand opportunities for students and advocate for their success here at UConn and beyond.
