A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Moving Everyone Forward
Across the University of Illinois System, we work every day to live up to our land-grant mission by creating opportunity for the people of Illinois.
I invite you to peruse this report’s sampling of recent U of I System initiatives we all should be proud of.
First, let me be clear about the “how” behind each of them.
Engaged partners across the state and around the world help us make the extraordinary happen. We work with the best of the best to develop innovative solutions, to partner to grow thriving communities, and to elevate diverse perspectives — all to address urgent challenges and create a better tomorrow.
Our partners help us arrive, again and again, at the sweet spot where higher education, government and the private sector work together to move society forward, strengthen our state and the world, and make all of our lives better. Through these efforts we are:
- Building educational pathways and robust support that provide more students with access to a world-class education that will help them reach their potential.
- Driving workforce and economic development outcomes that deliver progress and prosperity.
- Creating greater healthcare equity, life-altering research, and breakthrough discoveries that empower and enrich people’s lives.
And those are just a few examples.
Our bottom line: We champion the extraordinary for our students, our state, and society — for all of us.
And, as we have throughout our history, we will deliver the ambitious outcomes that the world needs from us and that we expect of ourselves.
