Hello, I am looking for sources for a Features article for the Daily Illini for our Black History Month edition. The article is about the legacy and impact of Maudelle Bousfield, and I am looking to interview Black students who live on campus about their thoughts on her and the actions the University has done to commemorate her. If you live in Bousfield Hall that's even better. If you are interested in an online interview or know anyone that would be, please contact me!

Hello! My name is Sophie Casaburi, and I am a news reporter for The Daily Illini.
This week, I am writing an article about food insecurity on campus and resources available to students in need. I was hoping to interview a UIUC student to get their perspective on anything related to food security by this Friday.
Given that this is a sensitive topic, I can keep your identity anonymous in the article. However, I would have to confirm your identity and that you are a UIUC student when we meet.
Please DM me if you want to set up a meeting (via Zoom, phone, in-person, whatever works for you) or if you have any questions! You can also email me at sophiec4@illinimedia.com.
Thanks!
Hey UIUC subreddit! I'm Liam, a reporter for The Daily Illini Features department.
This week, I am writing an article about Champaign County Humane Society volunteering. I would like to interview any UIUC student or faculty member who has volunteering experience with this organization. The interview can be virtual, phone, or in-person, whichever one you prefer. The interview should last no longer than 15 minutes.
If you want to be interviewed, know anyone who might be interested, or have any questions, feel free to DM me. Thanks!

βExpulsion was not presented as an option because our system was focused on education as its primary goal,β he said. βSo that expulsion of excluding a person at the outset doesnβt really give them an opportunity to come back and demonstrate that they really have learned or that they are a different person as a result of the experience.β
Are any trans students interested in being interviewed for the Daily Illini or anyone who knows of a trans student that might be interest? Iβm currently working on a piece about trans healthcare options at Mckinley. lmk!!!
Hey guys, I am an editor for one of the sections at Daily Illini. Iβve had some people message me on my other posts regarding DI, so I figured Iβd make this post. We are looking for writers! Despite any negativity you might see around reddit about whatever (iβm well aware of the opinions some redditors on here have) , DI is a great, independent student news organization to join if you like to write. There is a lot of room for creativity, depending what section you join. It also is a great way to improve your writing and to get your name out there. You donβt necessarily have to be a journalism majorβI am not at all, and I know plenty of people who are involved in STEM, etc. If you are interested, fill out this application You can also feel free to shoot me a PM if you want to know more in general. Iβm more than happy to answer any.
Just noticed on their website, the front page has 1-2 articles from today, and the rest are from the past few days. I thought they put out a whole issue each day. Is this because of COVID or was it always like this?
