- Inspire and equip our students by providing access to cutting-edge technology and facilities
- Help students maximize their time on campus and prepare for what comes next through our Life + Career Design initiative
- Support students navigating challenging times through the College of LAS Emergency Fund
Our goal is to raise $200 million during our With Illinois campaign. With the support of generous donors, we're more than three-quarters there.
