Meet Grace May: Legislative Intern 2024

Grace is from Princeton, IL and is a rising senior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is currently studying Agriculture and Consumer Economics with a concentration in Public Policy and Law with minors in Business and Environmental Economics and Law. Grace hopes to pursue a career in agriculture policy development and advocacy and work towards bringing better opportunities to rural communities.

These goals have led her to IL Corn, where she is excited to work with the Legislative team to further develop her knowledge in agriculture policy and advocacy. In her free time, you can find Grace spending time with family and friends or watching movies.

When asked about what she is most excited for, Grace said “I am thrilled about every aspect of this opportunity, but I am especially looking forward to connecting with other professionals who are passionate about agriculture and getting to visit Corn Congress in Washington, D.C.!”
