Basic Needs Drive

As the colder months approach, many students on our campus are facing the season without essential winter gear or basic hygiene products. We're calling on our campus community to come together and donate new or gently used scarves, hats, gloves and coats as well as unopened hygiene products like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant and more. Drop-off location: First Floor Lobby Donation Box at Turner Student Services, 610 E. John St. Donation drive runs through Nov. 7. Let’s show what community means. Donate today — and help keep our students warm, healthy and supported this winter.

DYK about the Illini Union's East Hallway update?

Older portraits from the Illini Union’s East Hallway have been archived, while the space has been refreshed in anticipation of future designs. A new Discovery Box in the Northeast Vestibule now offers in-depth, interactive stories of notable alumni, including Nobel Prize winners, award-winning directors, and space explorers. Further plans for the East Hallway are in development, ensuring this historic area continues to highlight Illini achievements in dynamic new ways.
