Give a Spark

As University of Illinois Chicago kicks off Give a Spark Day, the UIC community is proud to announce a transformative commitment from generous alumna Kay Schwichtenberg (MBA ‘84), who has contributed $250,000 to support student success. Her leadership gift sets the tone for a day focused on expanding opportunity, fueling innovation and strengthening the impact of scholarships, groundbreaking research and world-class patient care. Give a Spark reflects UIC’s powerful mission to advance both access and excellence — proving that the two go hand in hand while transforming lives across Chicago and communities throughout Illinois and beyond.

This is more than a fundraising event — it’s a movement. Your spark can leave a mark. Will you join us?
