FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS & ALUMNI ARE WELCOME.

If you care about CSU, we want you at Springfield Day!

Partnering with the

Join Chicago State University for a day of advocacy for adequate, equitable higher education funding from the State of Illinois. CSU and other public universities will gather in Springfield to show our support for Senate Bill 13 and House Bill 1581.

Prepare for your day in Springfield at one of three scheduled trainings (registration separate):



• Monday, April 6 at 5pm IN PERSON at CSU's campus

• Thursday, April 9 at 3pm VIRTUALLY with our Advocacy Partners, the Coalition for Transforming Higher Education Funding

• Monday, April 13 at 5pm VIRTUALLY with CSU

Together with our advocacy partners, we will educate members of the Illinois General Assembly on CSU's impact on the state economy, and raise awareness about the need to pass the equitable funding formula for all of Illinois' public universities. Your advocacy is critical to securing a historic investment that will ensure more students have access to affordable higher education and the campus experience they deserve at CSU after years of disinvestment.
