Kristen Johnson
Class of 2008

"SIU's biggest asset is its small size and personal attention. I highly doubt I would have stayed with a program at a larger school. I really felt like the faculty at SIU cared about my success. SIU not only gave me a great education with practical application, but I also found my best friends, which I think, is also partially a result of the school's size."

Kristen serves as Attorney-Advisor, Division of Land and Water Resources, Office of the Solicitor, U.S. Department of the Interior.
