It’s the last day of Orange & Blue Days -- Will you champion international learning experiences for Illinois students?

As federal funding cuts threaten the availability of financial aid for students pursuing immersive global research opportunities, it’s more important than ever to show them they still have our support on their journeys.

Help us keep essential pathways open to every student who aspires to understand the world more deeply and contribute to it more effectively by making a gift to our fund at https://go.illinois.edu/SupportInternationalLearning!

Today’s the day! Orange & Blue Days are here!

The specialized language, area, and global studies training offered at Illinois gives students a competitive edge in job prospects, research, and professional networks. Help us make an impact on a student’s journey by donating to our fund at https://go.illinois.edu/SupportInternationalLearning!

Your generosity ensures that our students continue to have the opportunity to pursue global learning experiences that bolster not only their own lives but those of our entire international community.
