Megan Gilfillan is a second-year graduate student majoring in speech-language pathology at Western Illinois University. Megan’s exemplary service highlights include serving as the head student chair for the Equity and Equality Club as well as a variety of activities that focus on supporting individuals with disabilities. Some examples of these activities include: assisting with a support group for parents of children with disabilities, volunteering for America Reads (an afterschool literacy program), and coaching Buddy Sports. Megan stated that her favorite part about service is “knowing that acts of service perpetuate themselves. If you take the time to educate, listen to, and show up for a few, it often inspires them to educate, listen to, and show up for many others. The impact of service extends far beyond a single individual!”
