In conjunction with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's sesquicentennial celebration in 2017, the Alumni Association will open a new Welcome Center located in the Alice Campbell Alumni Center. The Welcome Center will be open to all visitors to campus and will highlight the University's heritage and contributions to society. Plans for the Center include exhibits, cafeteria, campus tours, interactive electronic media, and meeting and event spaces. Organizers are collecting photos, memorabilia and other artifacts for inclusion in the various displays. If you are interested in donating items, you can tell them about your materials here.
Additional information about the Welcome Center and ways to contribute can be found on the Alumni Association's website. For more articles about the Welcome Center, please visit these links: News-Gazette, The Daily Illini, Illinois Alumni magazine.
