newsletter from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs |
Greetings
from the students, staff, and faculty at Illinois. Seniors at Illinois
are savoring their remaining few weeks on campus, spending every free
moment enjoying the company of their college friends. We applaud the
Class of 2001 for their many contributions both in and outside the
classroom. They have formed new student organizations, created innovative
programs and events, given thousands of volunteer hours to our community
and been excellent ambassadors of the campus. I invite you to look
through this newsletter and learn about some of these students, student
organizations and programs. You will a (so have the opportunity to
have a brief glimpse of student life and an update on Student Affairs
and campus?wide programs.
