  Starting Your Affordable Legacy

Gorgeous George!

Congratulations on your graduation, and welcome to the UIS Family as a graduate! One of the best UIS traditions is that each generation of UIS students assists the next.

This is your chance to become part of a tradition of giving back to the university.  At Graduate Salute March 27-29, you'll be given two dollar bills.  And, you'll be encouraged to keep a dollar as a graduation gift, and to give the other dollar back to UIS as your first gift to UIS.  How can you say no, right?

Your gift is about more than money.  It's about saying, "Thank you."  In the years while you have attended UIS, thousands of UIS alumni, businesses and community friends have given millions to the university.  We have all benefited from their generosity.

Now it's your turn to demonstrate that you care about UIS.  You can direct your gift to any area of campus you select -- a college, program, student organization, etc. 

It's easy to participate:

  • Stop at the Gorgeous George table at Grad Salute March 27-29 at the UIS Bookstore.

  • If you can't attend Grad Salute, the Development Office will mail your Gorgeous George package to you.

  • Call the Development Office at 217-206-6058 or send an email: giftinfo@uis.edu
