When your student comes to Illinois, they will explore, learn, and grow as contributing adults to our campus community; therefore, we shall treat them as responsible adults. As you shift your role from a caretaker to mentor, we hope that you will challenge and support your student to recognize and develop the skills they will need to be successful in college and beyond.
