Latest Features

Our latest addition is the Author's Corner, our new Amazon store featuring books and other items by Illini Media alumni.

You might also want to try out our Alumni Club Forum for registered members. It is our hope that it will provide a place for discussion and an online community of alumni.

We have also added an Alumni Search feature to the site. Registered members may now search our privacy-protected database for fellow members based on name, location, or what department/unit of Illini Media they worked for.

And finally, the Illini Media Online Shop is open for business, showcasing products from all of our units, and even some made specifically for the Alumni Club.


Thanks again to all of you out there that have become such an important part of this ever-growing Alumni Club. We couldn't have done it without you!
