Dear Colleagues,

As we begin this new year, I’m proud to introduce a new initiative to recognize the tremendous dedication and commitment demonstrated by all of our employees every single day.

You’ve heard me say that we are a world-class university because we are home to a world-class staff of professionals across the entire institution who each make unique and vital contributions to every one of our missions.

I hope you will take the time to view this short video introducing this effort to recognize the critical role of our staff at Illinois.

Thank you for joining me in being an Illinois Professional!

Sincerely,

Robert J. Jones
Chancellor
