2 0 1 8 IMPACT ILLINOIS ANNUAL REPORT WELCOME I am proud to share these stories highlighting just a few recent initiatives that reflect the power and impact of the University of Illinois System. Together, they add to a history of achievement at our three universities that has helped drive progress for generations, producing the talent, discovery, and innovation of tomorrow. They underscore our long-cherished and deep commitment to opening doors of opportunity for students. We are also proud of our continuing commitment to access and affordability, through a four-year in-state tuition freeze that has helped increased system-wide enrollment to record highs. Still, it is said that the road to excellence is always under construction, so we never stop working to break new ground and expand our vital contributions to the public good. Our efforts are guided by a Strategic Framework that charts an ambitious roadmap to make the U of I System a global model for the very best in research-intensive higher education – from the arts and humanities to technology and healthcare. This report examines some of the important work rooted in the framework that is underway at our universities in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield, and at UI Health. It includes a look at plans for a world-class innovation center that will enhance learning and massively accelerate economic growth in Illinois and beyond. It summarizes a new set of guiding principles that have been developed to help steer us through thorny issues currently facing our nation’s colleges and universities. And it outlines an historic, $3.1 billion fundraising campaign launched to help us achieve our dreams for the future. We hope you enjoy it, and thank you for your interest in the University of Illinois System.
