Illinois State University
Class of 2025
“PGN gave more than just a network on campus. From the second that I came into the organization it gave me a better idea of what I wanted to pursue, as well as a group of individuals that were always there to help [me] improve. The leadership opportunities that were available, especially VP of Marketing, helped me gain experience managing teams, executing strategy and working on my creative and analytical skills. PGN became a key part of my life and will forever stick with me — even after graduation.”
