Meet Joshua
​Joshua Rowzee kept busy as an undergrad at the University of Illinois Springfield. He served on the Student Activities Committee as Chair and Special Events Coordinator; he served as President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer for the Black Student Union; and he served as Treasurer of the Black Male Collegiate Society. His leadership qualities were noticed - he was awarded both the Freshman Fairness Award and the Campus Life and Leadership award. Joshua has obtained his Bachelor's of Arts in Communications in 2022 and now is headed for his Master's in Educational Leadership.
