I-MMÁS: Mexican and Mexican American Students Initiative
El propósito de este programa es el de aumentar la inscripción de más estudiantes Mexicanos y Mexicano-Americanos al Sistema de la Universidad de Illinois mientras que al mismo tiempo construimos una amplia presencia e interacción con instituciones académicas y de investigación mexicanas, así como la participación del sector privado.
En el Sistema de la Universidad de Illinois, los estudiantes pueden recibir una educación del más alto nivel en una escala mundial en cualquiera de sus tres campos localizados en Champaign-Urbana, Chicago, o en Springfield. Una vez los estudiantes son admitidos en alguna de las tres Universidades, esperamos poder conectarlos con recursos, becas, y posible financiamiento. Deseamos proporcionar a los estudiantes con las herramientas, el apoyo y las oportunidades que necesitan para ser exitosos.
