A special luncheon during Commencement weekend celebrated Class of 2026 graduates who completed their degrees through Illinois College Online. For some students and families, this was their first visit to the Hilltop! 🎓

Online or on campus, an Illinois College education prepares students for success and empowers them to make a difference in the world.

Special thanks to Alumni Association Board member Julie Minch Dailey ’93 for sharing her inspiring story, offering a warm welcome to the alumni community and encouraging graduates to stay connected to IC.

It’s been one month since the Class of 2026 officially became Illinois College Alumni! 🎓💙

Before graduation, these soon-to-be graduates gathered for the annual Senior Wine and Cheese to celebrate their accomplishments and the start of their next chapter.

Help give the Class of 2026 a warm Illinois College welcome in the comments!

Meet Thomas. 💙

He is a rising sophomore and a student-athlete. As a mechanical engineering major, his coursework is challenging. He works hard to balance every part of his busy college life.

Thomas loves the growth he’s experienced at Illinois College. He’s had resources like expert professors and academic coaches that help define his career goals and help him stay on track to reach the commencement stage.

Today is the last day of the fiscal year and students like Thomas are counting on you. Make your gift before midnight tonight to help a student return to IC this fall: ic.edu/give

Meet Rylie. 💙

She is a nursing major, honors student and first-generation college student working hard toward her future at Illinois College.

As a student ambassador and involvement leader, Rylie helps other first-generation students feel supported and seen on the Hilltop.

Many students are balancing busy schedules, demanding coursework and financial stress. For some, returning to campus this fall is still uncertain.

Help students close the financial gap by making a gift to the IC Fund before May 31. Give today at ic.edu/give
