BRILLIANT FUTURES: campaign priorities
Pointing Toward a Brilliant Future
UIS is part of an exciting trend in higher education: smaller universities that combine the best characteristics of private liberal arts schools with a commitment to broad public access.
Our vision rests on three ambitious but realistic goals:
- Delivering academic excellence
- Creating experiences that enrich individual lives
- Making a difference in our community, our world
These three strategic goals complement and reinforce each other, building on our unique strengths while honoring our achievements.
We Need You
We’re proud of the momentum we’ve gathered, but we know that momentum alone won’t be enough to get us to the next stage. It’s the financial and moral support of faculty, alumni, and friends of our university, the city of Springfield, and the surrounding region that will ensure our future success.
We change lives at UIS. We enrich the culture and economy of the state of Illinois and are enriched by it in turn. We embody academic excellence and the principle of civic engagement.
Our $28 million Campaign goal will help make UIS one of the top five small public liberal arts universities in the nation. Please join us as we create Brilliant Futures.
