“I’m a proud and fortunate Illini and I am happy to do my part to help the School of Labor and Employment Relations," says Adrienne Washington, AM 1996, and Alumni Speaker for the December 2013 commencement ceremony. “Putting my name on a plaque is lovely, but knowing I helped my alma mater is what matters.”
Adrienne's family has a long Illini tradition, boasting a number of alumni, including her father, who was a member of the football team. She is honoring that tradition with a gift for the donor wall in the new addition.
