LAS Day of Giving

Alumni and friends of the College of LAS know—our college is at the heart of the Illinois experience.

LAS influences virtually every Illinois undergraduate, empowering them to explore big questions and develop essential communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. Our faculty are global leaders in their fields, blazing trails in scholarship and research. This fall, we’ll celebrate this incredible impact through our second annual Day of Giving. You can help propel the College of LAS to even greater heights by making a gift that will support our students and faculty now and into the future.

Join us October 23, 2024!
