Oh, the places we go … University of Illinois alumni are globetrotters who travel near and far, but never forget their Alma Mater!

Adam Delgado, ’91 LAS, and his wife, Grace, traveled to the Vatican to pay their respects to Pope Francis and to “cheer for” Pope Leo XIV. Delgado describes the trip as “a humbling experience,” noting that the new pontiff promises to provide outstanding leadership while inspiring devotion.
The Delgados live in Westminster, Md., and last visited the Eternal City in 2001. Delgado adds, “I am Illinois proud!”
