University of Illinois Alumni Association

Building relationships for life is more than a promise for the University of Illinois Alumni Association (UIAA). It's a commitment of service to the more than 580,000 living alumni of the University. With staff in Urbana, Chicago and Springfield, UIAA provides programming and services that develop and maintain alumni connections with each other and with the institution.

In 2008, UIAA launched a groundbreaking, universal membership model that expands involvement in the association to all alumni and current students. The new model expands the reach of members around the globe to each other and to the University.

UIAA is now home to the growing alumni advocacy initiative called Illinois Connection, which coordinates still more involvement and input in matters that are important to alumni and to the University.

Alumni are a permanent part of the University of Illinois family, and their support of UIAA programs, services and events fosters participation and pride in the University.
