Lobbying for Higher Education
On April 1, 2009, students, alumni and administrators from across all three U of I campuses convened in Springfield to lobby for higher education.

Attendees heard several informative speeches and visited the State Capitol to meet with Illinois legislators. The event concluded with a reception at the Illinois State Library.
