In an effort to increase the University's visibility in the Chicago area, provide more convenient staff access to alumni, and develop a stronger link in recruiting new students, the Illinois State University Foundation's Chicago Office was established in 1990. The Chicago Office is available for use by all members of the University community. Faculty and staff are encouraged to take advantage of this excellent resource in their work with alumni, corporations and foundations, government agencies, and other major constituencies and industries in the Chicago area. Located in the building at 150 North Michigan Avenue at the corner of Randolph Street and Michigan Avenue, the Illinois State University Foundation's Chicago Office is convenient to reach and near the heart of The Loop and the famous Magnificent Mile. Faculty, staff, and alumni may use the office's telephone, fax, copier, computer, and other office equipment while in Chicago for business or to attend conferences.
Meeting space is also available.
