Scholarship, discovery, and innovation are at the heart of Illinois’ local, national, and global impact. We will drive new frontiers by attracting and retaining a diverse group of faculty, students, and staff endowed with creativity and intellectual depth and breadth. Modern infrastructures, streamlined processes, and enriching interdisciplinary and convergent work will advance the university’s mission.
