Message from President Killeen: To fall, and beginning
To our students, faculty and staff across the University of Illinois System:
By now all of you are well into one of my favorite rituals of every academic year – beginning!
And with that beginning, our campuses open and fill with bright minds, big ideas, and grand hopes and dreams.
Our core mission – the pursuit of knowledge, the creation of opportunity, the betterment of society through research and discovery – is renewed, made fresh and vital with our return each August.
We each have vital parts to play, and opportunities ahead.
