University of Illinois Office of the Chancellor at Urbana ( hampaign Swanlund Administration Building 217-333-6290 Champaign, II hIKJII 217-244-4121/ix Dear Reader, The demands of attending one of the nation's premier public universities are great; hours of note taking, homework, and examinations are enough to challenge even the brightest students. So it might surprise you to learn that some of our most successful scholars are those who also devote time to extracurricular activities. Well-rounded students are hard working, dedicated, and competitive. Those skills—combined with the strong academic foundation at Illinois—translate directly into success in life after college. Throughout the pages of this guide, you will meet a group of talented people who manage to balance the intellectual demands of Big Ten academics with the physical challenges of living with disabilities. As you read through this booklet, I am certain you will gain a better appreciation for the long hours and drive required to excel academically and participate in demanding competition at campus, regional, national and international levels. Former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka used to have a sign in his office that read, "Nothing in this world is impossible to a willing heart." We are proud of these students, who are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to accomplish many academic goals and to represent this campus in the state, the nation, and the world, and I invite you to join them in the pursuit of excellence. Sincerely, Michael Aiken Chancellor University of Illinois Office of Applied Life Studies at Urbana-Champaign I 206 S. Fourth Street 217-333-2131 Champaign, IL 61820 217-333-0404 fax Dear Reader: The College of Applied Life Studies (ALS) is proud of its history of leadership in enabling all UIUC students regardless of disability to focus on their abilities. We have worked to ensure that individuals with disabilities are able to participate in and benefit from rich curricular and co- curricular programs at UIUC. The College of Applied Life Studies' Division of Rehabilitation- Education Services has had a long and successful history of providing student life experiences that might not be possible on some college campuses, experiences that contribute significantly to per- sonal growth and self-esteem. The student athletic programs that we have developed have served as models nationally and internationally. Student athletes who have participated in these programs have had the opportunity to push their personal limits and some have been able to excel to nationally and internationally recognized levels ol achievement.
