YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMICH.EDU) -- Jillian (Wolosiansky) Boone (BA09) fell in love with Eastern Michigan University for the same reason that many other alumni, students and donors do: it just felt right. The former volleyball player first visited EMU on a recruitment trip, and it was then she decided Eastern was the place for her.
"I wanted to go to class and be around real people," Jillian explained. "Everyone here is just working hard and making the best out of their situation."
For the first few years, Jillian did not declare a major. She didn't want to rush into a decision and pigeon-hole herself, but the clock was ticking.
