Jenna Mohammed (@jennajaby), a junior computer science major from Bloomington, chose Illinois State University to stay close to home while finding opportunities to grow and get involved. 

“ISU gave me the balance of community, opportunity, and involvement I wanted in a college experience,” Mohammed said. She said she was drawn to computer science because it challenges her to think critically and adapt in a constantly evolving field.

Mohammed serves as president of the @isa_at_isu, where she creates spaces for students to connect and celebrate culture. She is also a cadet in @isuarmyrotc and involved in @leadilstu, developing her leadership, discipline, and teamwork skills. One of her proudest moments came from organizing the @isuscitech's “Be All You Can Be” competition through ROTC. “Watching departments compete, laugh, push their limits, and come together made all the planning worth it,” she said.

Motivated by growth and service, Mohammed said she strives to create meaningful opportunities that bring people together. “Being a Redbird means stepping outside of my comfort zone, leading with intention, and using my experiences to make a positive difference,” she said.

For senior Ashley Strehlow, creation takes many forms—writing code, building solutions, and performing under the lights. At Illinois State, she found a way to blend analytical thinking with creativity, from her studies in computer science and computational mathematics to her role in @gammaphicircus. What started as trying something new became a defining part of her college experience, shaping both her confidence and her community. Now, as she prepares for her final performances, it’s not just about the show—it’s about everything that led her there. Find tickets for the Gamma Phi Circus' spring show on April 17–18 at CEFCU Arena 🔗 in bio!
