Make friends and sharpen your communications skills with ACT

By Rachel McGreal

Having 1,000-plus student organizations on the UIUC campus means there’s something for almost every interest you can think of.

For example, The Illini Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow (ACT) strives to provide a space outside of the classroom for members to share their passions for the agricultural communications and journalism sector and grow as leaders.

We offer club members opportunities to participate in professional development workshops, immersive industry tours, social and philanthropic activities, and more.

Illini ACT also creates opportunities throughout the year for its members to interact and network with industry professionals.

The club is open to all students of any major. As a member of Illini ACT, you’re part of a tight-knit community that promotes friendship among members and brings like-minded peers together.

Illini ACT members also belong to the National ACT organization. That gives them access to exclusive scholarship, internship and professional development opportunities. Members can attend Ag Media Summit, the largest agricultural communications conference in the United States with
