Illinois State University is about to hit a five-year stretch of immense change. That’s according to ISU President Terri Goss Kinzy, who delivered her State of the University address Tuesday.
Hi, this is Ryan Denham, content director at WGLT. Wanted to give you a heads up that there won’t be a new episode of THE LEADOFF today. That’s because the entire WGLT news team is spending the day at a professional-development training. That will lead to better journalism for you, our listeners. But don’t worry: Our colleagues at NPR will keep you company today, and THE LEADOFF and all the local news you rely on will be back on the air on Friday.
“Thor: Love and Thunder,” one of the biggest summer blockbusters, is now in theaters. WGLT's Psych Geeks (from ISU's Department of Psychology) are back to talk about finding the humanity in a story about a God.
On today's episode, you'll hear an interview with two University of Illinois law professors who've studied abortion access and what the end of Roe will mean for Illinois. Plus, Ryan Denham unpacks abortion data in McLean County. And you'll also hear from the new faculty advisory at the ISU student media outlet the Vidette.
