Milner. She gathered information on who served from campus, including the 14 who died. The conflict sparked U.S. patriotism, as revealed in Milner’s collection. Among the items she preserved are 8 posters urging Americans to support the military effort. 26 Dwindling demographic 20 Maintaining enrollment is increasingly difficult as the number of high school graduates drops. Add to that the fact nearly half of all Illinois students go out of state for a degree, and it’s no wonder Director of Admissions Jeff Mavros, M.S. ’06, is asking alumni to help encourage students to consider ISU. 28 Undeterred Jean Deeds ’64 left her job to hike the Appa- lachian Trail’s 2,200 miles at age 51. With 300 miles to go, she broke a leg and headed home. A 28 year later, she reached the trail’s end. The expe- rience sparked her mission to empower women by guiding them on hikes around the world.

I am very proud to be part of this institution and very much appreciate the diligence, commit- ment, and collaboration of the students, faculty, and staff who made these accom- plishments possible. I look forward to the coming year as Illinois State sets its sights on a new strategic plan that will lead the University to even more success.
