Schaefer Professor, Dept. of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology; and Dr. Eric C. Larson, Teaching Associate Professor, Information Systems, Associate Department Head, Business Administration, and R.C. Evans Data Analytics Fellow.

Illini Days concluded with an evening reception. Chancellor Robert J. Jones provided an update on the progress of the With Illinois Campaign.
