To All of the Illinois Family:

Whether this is your first week on our campus or you are returning for another great year, we’re excited to see you. This campus and this community just aren’t the same when you’re away.

We enlisted some future (hopefully) Illini to help us create a short welcoming video. I hope you'll take a couple of minutes to see what they have to say.

The University of Illinois has a long tradition as a place that welcomes big ideas, big imaginations and big dreams. We know that tradition starts and rests with all of you, our students, faculty and staff. Whatever your dreams and your plans may be, thank you for choosing to make the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign a part of them.

I wish you all a wonderful year.

Phyllis
