Friday Letter Archive
The Friday Letter is U of I’s long-running, weekly message straight from the president to members of the Vandal Family. Each week during the academic year, with breaks for holidays, the president offers an update on Vandal teaching and learning, research and scholarship, and notable initiatives and priorities. Alumni and friends are welcome to join students, faculty and staff in receiving the newsletter.
