Education alumna Jennifer Eirinberg conjures flash mobs for fundraising and fun

March 8, 2012 (Illinois Alumni Magazine, Urbana, IL, Mike Knezovich)— Growing up, Jennifer Eirinberg '11 ELED had one goal: to become a Broadway actress. "That was my dream," she says. "Nobody was going to stop me." There was just one problem: "I was super-untalented. But I thought I was the best."

Her parents didn’t tell her otherwise. "They allowed me to continue because I loved it. Thank goodness." Today, a whole lot of people she’s touched in her young life would say the same.

Thank goodness.
