Imagine Illinois: The Big Day
Members of Upsilon Pi joined the Student Senate at JALC for Image Illinois: The Big Day. The Big Day was designed by Student Senate in Illinois as a day to make a difference in one's community. Student Senate chose to make a difference by reading to kids in Barnes and Noble bookstore in Carbondale, IL on Saturday, March 1st. All JALC students were invited to participate in this event.
WSIL News 3 (local) did a segment on the event in the Community section of their program. This segment featured a couple of our own Upsilon Pi members and can be viewed on their website (click here).
All attendees loved the idea of teaching kids the importance and enjoyment of reading, and all had a wonderful time. Upsilon Pi plans to attend Imagine Illinois next year if held again.
