Allison Nichols
Allison Nichols recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in English Education from EIU in the spring of 2025, and is currently working towards her master's degree in Rhetoric and Composition through EIU as well! Allison has always had a passion for teaching others, and is very excited to be presenting about her passions and providing new knowledge to others. Booth library is also the best place to go on campus when it comes to finding books for research projects or even reading for fun, and Allison hope that new or returning students, family and friends, or community members enjoy what Comic Fest has to offer!
