Get Involved: Alumni
Dear fellow Illini,
Like many of you, I’m a proud product of Illinois’ entrepreneurship legacy. It’s an honor to be back on campus, working alongside leaders who are shaping a bold future for Illini Entrepreneurship. But continuing to lead in this space requires more than institutional effort – it takes everyone who believes in the potential of Illinois.
That’s why I’m asking you to get involved. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, executive, or mentor, your experience and energy can help cultivate the next generation of Illini founders. There are countless ways to engage – from advising student teams and investing in ventures, to guest speaking and supporting new programs.
With your involvement, we can build an ecosystem that not only sustains our legacy but propels us to the very top among public universities. We all have a role to play – and I hope you’ll embrace this opportunity to help shape the future of Illini Entrepreneurship.
- Gerald Wilson, Director of Entrepreneurship
