Inside you, and every one of us, is the power to shape the future. We’ve embarked on a journey to do just that. With the collective power of our alumni, gathered together under our UIC Alumni Association, and through IGNITE: The Campaign for UIC, we will create opportunity for hungry minds, discover new knowledge, empower faculty and connect to communities at home and around the world.
