Testimonials
“For more than 20 years I’ve been a member of UIAA having joined right after graduation. Through the Illinois Alumni magazine, I love still feeling connected to the university. The magazine always has the latest news including what my former classmates are doing, as well as interesting school history, to proudly share with family, friends and colleagues. There’s also really cool discounts for tickets, alumni gear and other activities that my family has enjoyed and has been great for gift giving.”
“I recommend that fellow graduates join the alumni association membership because it is a great way to stay connected to the University of Illinois. Whether close to Champaign or across the globe, being part of the alumni association satisfies that sense of community, emphasizing that an Illini will always be an Illini. It also provides an opportunity to continue benefiting from the university and its resources as one did during undergrad. Being a member of the alumni association means always living and breathing the success of an Illini.”
