Meet Aidan Cech, a junior studying Political Science with a minor in Legal Studies, and an LAS Alumni Engagement intern!

Aidan chose to “join the LAS Honors program to be part of a community with like-minded individuals who strive for academic and professional success.”

Additionally, he stated that he’s “greatly enjoyed connecting with the faculty and taking advantage of the many different opportunities LAS Honors has to offer.”

Aidan explained that “being an LAS Alumni Engagement intern has allowed me to make connections with a variety of amazing people.”

He elaborated that his “overall favorite experiences in the LAS Honors community have been attending JSSAB or PAP events and being able to meet a variety of different people from these events. Each time I’ve gone to an event, I meet one or two new people who I get to connect and become friends with. These events have definitely made me a more sociable person.”

A fun fact about Aidan is that he has a Yorkie named Arlo! His current favorite song is “Social Cues” by Cage the Elephant.

Thank you for sharing, Aidan! We look forward to seeing all you will accomplish this year via LAS Honors and at Illinois. by @lashonorsillinois

Meet Finn Powell, holding this week’s spot for our Student Spotlight!

Finn is a junior studying Economics and Political Science and has experience serving as an LAS 122: Leadership and Society intern!

Finn chose to join the LAS Honors program “because of the many opportunities it provides throughout your academic journey, like being a 122 TA!”

“I’ve truly loved my time as an LAS 122 intern! Being part of the program gave me a chance to see university life through an instructor’s eyes instead of just a student. It’s been a great way to build real-world skills while growing my passion for mentoring,” Finn continued.

“I think the LAS 122 internship experience is a great example of what the James Scholar program has meant to my academic development on campus. The James Scholar program gives me the flexibility to take the courses I am interested in and the opportunity to engage with campus more completely, through experiences like the LAS 122 internship,” Finn explained.

A fun fact about Finn is that he actually “met one of [his] current roommates in [LAS] 122 freshman year!”

His current favorite song is “I Don’t Want to Get Over You” by the Magnetic Fields.

Thank you for sharing, Finn! We are looking forward to all you will accomplish this year in your studies at Illinois and as a member of the LAS Honors community! by @lashonorsillinois
