As alumni and friends of the College of Architecture and the Arts at UIC you play a vital role in our mission of providing an excellent and accessible arts education to our students. Whether it is making a gift, attending an event at the College, hiring a graduate, or merely talking up many of the amazing things happening at the College to your friends, you are making a difference. On behalf of Dean Kirshner and the rest of the College, thank you. However, our work is not done. As an alumnae or a friend of the College, we ask that you continue supporting us in any way you can and if you have yet to support us to start today. With our College continuing to grow and improve and our students having never been better, they deserve all of the support the College and its community of alumni and friends can provide. There are numerous ways to get involved by making a gift, attending an event, hiring a grad, or inspiring a student with your own story of success. These are just a few examples of how to get involved. I encourage you to contact me or any of my Advancement colleagues to get started and find out more. Roscoe Crampton Director of Advancement
