Inspiring Achievement Update
Inspiring Achievement will ensure that every student who graduates from IC will have at least one hands-on learning experience beyond the classroom — like an internship, global travel or student-faculty research. With Campaign support, every student will have the chance to participate in at least one of these critical experiences. The valuable skills they gain will ensure that IC graduates stand out when they apply for jobs or to graduate schools.
Inspiring Achievement is the largest and most ambitious campaign in Illinois College history. In order to fulfill its vision, the College
needs strong partners throughout the community — including alumni, parents and friends whose lives have been impacted by Illinois College. While the total raised for each initiative is one measure of success, the true impact lives within the stories of students who are able to have transformative experiences every day. The following pages include some of the countless stories of
Inspiring Achievement.
