Testimonials
“…Over the years, the Alumni Association has enriched my connection to the University on all levels – by hosting events for members, providing real time information about the University, and providing numerous avenues to engage – both online and in person. Supporting the Alumni Association by becoming a member ensures that these opportunities, along with its mission of “Building Relationships for Life”, will continue for generations to come. In short, I encourage every alum to become a member of the Alumni Association – it’s not only a privilege but a great way to pay it forward!”

“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.”
