Summary

At Illinois, we embrace the very human work of inquiry and invention, experimentation, and education. We give the next generation the skills and knowledge to make sense of the world around us, preserve the lessons of the past, and move humanity forward.

In the College of Media, we are focused on producing the next generation of media leadership—those who will help us understand and adapt to an unpredictable and constantly-changing media landscape. We do this through agile media education, cutting-edge scholarship, and connections with the industries we serve. At the same time, we continue our legacy of facilitating informed public decision-making and ensuring fair, accurate, balanced, and contextual representation of all groups in our society.

Private support is essential to ensuring public universities continue to be places where progress and innovation can flourish. Private investment takes on increased importance in times of uncertain federal and state funding. It is a sign of faith and confidence in all we can contribute to the greater good.

With your support, we will continue to elevate the values that make Illinois distinctive: a sense of boundless aspiration, collaborative research, and global perspective. And we will continue to honor the people who have shaped the culture and character of this place: our students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

The world is a better place With Illinois.
