Mission/Vision

The Stamps Scholars at Illinois collectively authored a vision for the experience.

Our goal is to:
  • Create a diverse, sustainable and cohesive community that fosters lifelong relationships
  • Establish a prominent Illinois Stamps brand and achieve recognition for the program through charitable works
  • Utilize the Stamps experience as a platform for career advancement that connects Scholars with resources and networking opportunities
Our vision comes alive as we:
  • Participate in social gatherings and service activities
  • Share and celebrate individual and group accomplishments through a variety of platforms including our student-led Stamps Showcase 
  • Gather to learn from distinguished campus and national leaders
  • Meet individually with the Program Leads once per semester for challenge and support
  • Take part in a pre-college summer excursion, biennial National Convention, and biennial spring retreat
  • And much more
