Donors who continually invest in Illinois State University were honored at a Loyalty Circle reception held February 20 in Normal. More than 200 donors attended the breakfast, which kicked off Illinois State’s Founding Celebration.

Illinois State University President Larry Dietz thanked the University’s most loyal donors and challenged Loyalty Circle members to use their advocacy to further strengthen the culture of philanthropy at Illinois State. Dietz highlighted Birds Give Back on February 27 as a unique opportunity for donors to help spread the word to friends and family by phone, email, or on social media about the importance of giving back and supporting Illinois State.
