The Illini Union draws together all members of the University of Illinois community. It is the shared possession of students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests. While each of these groups is important, it is the students who are at the heart of what the Illini Union is all about.
 
Every student is welcome here and every student has an equal share. By providing the opportunity for each student to come into contact with others, we promote an understanding and appreciation of the diversity of the University of Illinois and of the world at large. We fulfill this mission through our programs and services.

Students who create programs and activities on behalf of the Illini Union Board complement their education with experience in group process, ethics, leadership, volunteerism and social responsibility. Students who attend these programs and participate in these activities also enrich their education with the learning, growth and entertainment such events offer.

By encouraging personal and intellectual growth, by supporting divergent thought and free expression, by celebrating the individual and by providing an environment that fosters integrity and respect, the Illini Union exists as more than a building. Learn more about the Illini Union.
