We ARE Illini
We Appreciate, Recognize, and Encourage (ARE) Illini
The We ARE Illini Program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is designed to foster a culture of gratitude within the community. It focuses on Appreciation, Recognition, and Encouragement, providing a simple way for faculty, staff, and students to recognize someone’s support, celebrate a colleague’s success, or express thanks for small but meaningful actions. The program aims to create a positive ripple effect across campus, encouraging a chain reaction of goodwill.
How It Works
- Identify a Moment that Mattered – Did a colleague help you finish a project on time? Did a friend go above and beyond to make your day better?
- Send an Appreciation, Recognition, or Encouragement – Use our easy online form to send them a quick note. It takes just a few seconds to brighten someone’s day.
- Enjoy the Ripple Effect – A single “thank you” can spark a chain reaction of positivity across campus. Recipients often pay it forward by thanking someone else, creating an ongoing wave of goodwill.
