Spend the day with the Grainger College of Engineering Undergraduate Admissions & Recruitment team and see what it means to be part of our community. This program will introduce you to our majors, resources, and student organizations, while offering opportunities to connect with the student chapters of national organizations, including the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), the American Indian in Science and Engineering Society (AISES), and other campus partners. You’ll hear firsthand from current students about their experiences as engineers at Illinois. Along the way, you’ll learn how to become a strong applicant and participate in an essay-writing workshop to sharpen your application.
