College of Business Administration

This spring, UIC is stepping onto a national stage, Give a Spark Day is for us to leave mark on the future of UIC Business.

It’s a day to rally our alumni, faculty, staff, and friends around one common goal: student success at UIC Business.
Whether you graduated last year or thirty years ago, this is your chance to show your UIC pride and share your spirit with the next generation of business leaders.

Today, you choose exactly where your impact lands. Your gift helps us remove barriers and create high-achieving professionals through programs like the Business Scholars program, a selective honors cohort offering elite mentorship, corporate networking, and leadership-focused curriculum to high-achieving future business leaders. Or give to our brand-new Transfer Fellows initiative, which provides critical peer mentoring, advising, and financial support for students transitioning to UIC from two-year universities.

You can also support the Full Circle Scholarship Program. This program supports students at every stage—from the Recruitment Fund that helps attract top talent to our Get to Graduation Fund.
Every year, over one hundred of our students face an unexpected financial emergency. Your support of the Get to Graduation Fund provides the "finish line" grants that ensure these students, often just a semester away from their degree, can actually walk across the stage.

This year, the stakes are higher than ever. The Winbush family has issued an incredible challenge: if we reach our goal of 150 donors on Give a Spark day, they will donate $10,000 to the college.
But we want to make history. If we hit our stretch goal of 200 donors—breaking our all-time giving-day participation record—Darrell and Katina will donate another $10,000. That is twenty thousand dollars on the line!

You can even direct your support to your specific graduating department, whether that’s Accounting, Finance, Information and Decision Sciences, Managerial Studies, Marketing, and Real Estate.
