Social mobility can be measured in numbers:
Careers launched.
Incomes increased,
Degrees earned,
But its deeper meaning is human. It is about possibility arising across lifetimes and generations.
At UIC, a national leader in promoting student social mobility and a nationally recognized Carnegie Opportunity University, that possibility takes shape every day through students and alumni whose talent, determination, lived experience and community-rooted perspective help move Chicago forward.
The Story of Deborah Evans, MS ’85
The Story of Miguel Lemus, BS ’18
For alumni, donors and friends of the university, these stories are a reminder that investing in UIC means investing in people whose potential already exists and whose impact continues to multiply. It means investing in a university that helps students build on their strengths, expand their opportunities and translate their education into leadership across Chicago and beyond. In Evans and Lemus, we see examples of what is possible when talent meets access, encouragement and a university built to serve its city.
