Dear UIUC Community, 

I want to express how proud I am of everyone for sticking it out through a whole year of online learning. From one student to another I know it’s been especially hard. From having asynchronous classes to being cooped up in your dorm or apartment, this last year has been pretty bleak. In spite of all the challenges; we stayed strong as a community and have overcome these obstacles.  

I know that personally, not being able to see all my friends in person and hang out in the Union has put a damper on my college experience. It’s hard to describe how gloomy this past year has been, but that’s why I’m so proud of everyone for persevering. I really cannot express how much I appreciate everyone for their hard work. Thank you for being such an amazing community. It has been a wonderful year representing everyone, in spite of COVID, and I am happy I have had the opportunity to advocate for students.  

Remember, our dedication this year means that next year we can return to normality. I can’t wait to see you all next semester, hopefully in person. I, and the entire Illinois Student Government, thank you so much. 

Sincerely, 

Alexis Perezchica
