To Faculty and Staff of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Dear Colleagues:

	Yesterday, I announced that I will be retiring as Chancellor of the 
Urbana-Champaign campus on August 20, 2001.  I am writing to thank you 
sincerely for your many contributions to the campus during my tenure as 
Chancellor.  We have taken our educational, research and public service 
programs to a new level of excellence.  Our successes have been made 
because of the dedication and support from each of you.  There are still 
many challenges facing the campus.   I have every confidence however that 
with your support this campus will meet them successfully, and that the 
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will continue to be one of the 
great public institutions of higher education in this nation, and indeed 
the world.

	It has been my honor and my great pleasure to serve as Chancellor 
of this campus.  I look forward to our continued collaboration during this 
coming year.  

	With best wishes.

				Cordially,


				Michael Aiken
				Chancellor
