Tuesdays are for traditions, and Homecoming traditions run deep at #ILLINOIS. One of the most cherished is the fountain-dyeing at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center, a tradition introduced by former Alumni Association President, Jennifer Lewis Dillavou. 🧡 In her honor, this fountain was recently dedicated as the Jennifer Lewis Dillavou Fountain, a lasting tribute to her leadership and passion for fostering Illini pride. As the water turns orange, we celebrate her enduring legacy and the spirit that unites Illini everywhere. 🏛️✨
