One University, Many Brilliant Futures

Join us as we launch Brilliant Futures: the Campaign for the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Brilliant is a word we like at the University of Illinois at Chicago. It describes the teachers and researchers who have made UIC what it is today. It describes the opportunity our students find here, their chance to shine and reach their potential. Brilliant Futures are created when the supporters who share our vision come together with the passionate teachers, the bold researchers and the gifted students of our university to create something that’s larger and more powerful than all of us.

From our earliest days, excellent students from all social, cultural and economic backgrounds—some of whom couldn’t otherwise have afforded a university education—have found success at UIC. We’re proud of that tradition. We intend to carry it far into the future.

And there’s another important component to UIC’s mission that we need to keep in view as we look ahead: the leading-edge research and public service that go on here every day. At this moment, UIC is poised to become the nation’s premier urban public research university. We’ll reach that pinnacle soon with the continued, generous support of individuals and organizations who share our values and want to join with us in building our brilliant future.
