Sources Used and Thanks
Thanks and Dedication:
Many thanks to those who participated in the research of this project, including the K-List, Elizabeth Walter, Assistant Dean of Students/Director of Orientation and all of the undergraduate students who took the time to speak with me. Like many University of Illinois Urbana Champaign community members, I have a certain love for this University, and all of the memories and stories it holds for me. To other UIUC community members: I urge you, take a walk on the Quad during a summer evening, lay on the grassy lawns, gaze upon the beautiful architecture of the Illini Union, Foellinger, and Lincoln Hall. Sit at the Eternal Flame and kiss your sweetheart. Stand upon the Echo Plaque at Foellinger and announce your major to the world. Celebrate these years, create your stories, and pass them along to your children.
