Alumni/Admissions Outreach

The University of Illinois Alumni Association (UIAA) is proud to assist UIC's Office of Admissions and Records (OAR) by identifying alumni who are willing to participate in Spring calling activity. By becoming an Alumni Ambassador, you can help prospective students make the right choice to attend UIC. Simply speak with students who have been admitted to the University and answer any questions they might have about coming to UIC. It's that simple — just make a few phone calls.

Alumni Ambassador
"Most students seem appreciative of the calls, and I enjoy talking to people who are interested in and enjoy my field. Talking to students reminds me of how I was before I went to UIC and wasn't quite sure what to expect. I would have appreciated receiving a call like this from a graduate."

Alumni Ambassador
"What I liked about the program is the idea that a professional offers these students an experienced perspective on opportune ways to make an impact with a degree from UIC," says Slowinski. "I think it would be nice to get this kind of preview of what lay down the road if I was considering schools."

"I think that a lot of people really don't know how great a school UIC is, especially if they're not from Chicago."
