“In some sense you are giving back to what was given to you as a student or as a young person when you give to Illinois College. And you are paying something forward for future generations. The money that we give to Illinois College has a direct impact on the lives of students. These students are going to become the leaders and the practitioners in their professions; we are bettering the world every time we better a student at Illinois College.”
