This school year was the third consecutive year that Illinois State University has broken its freshman enrollment rate, so Her Campus ISU thought it would be perfect to catch up with heavily-involved freshman, Justin Chhoeun. He is the Vice President of the ISU Spanish Club, and he is an undergraduate research assistant for solid state chemistry for one of his professors. Justin took time out of his busy schedule to share a little bit about himself with Her Campus.

I hope you enjoyed getting to know Justin just as much as I did!
