Dear Colleagues:

We write to invite you and a guest to join us at Memorial Stadium on Nov. 22 to cheer on the Illinois varsity football team in a contest against Penn State (time to be announced).

Faculty, staff and academic professional employees can visit the Illinois Ticket Office at 2141 S. Neil St. in the Shoppes of Knollwood to pick up tickets (limit: two per employee). The office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. You must show your i-card. The deadline to participate is Friday, Nov. 21 at 5:00 p.m.  Please understand that these tickets may not be resold. The many faculty and staff who are season ticket holders are also invited to participate.

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, we thank you for your good work throughout the year, and we hope that you enjoy cheering on our student-athletes in the final home game of the 2014 season.

Go Illini!

Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Athletic Director Mike Thomas
