Illinois MSI Network

The Illinois MSI Network is a growing collective of campus administrators, staff, faculty, and not-for-profit advocates who believe that Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) are an important part of the fabric of higher education in Illinois. Currently, too few resources are available for minoritized students and the campuses and programs that serve them. We think that needs to change!

We also believe that those working in MSIs are in the best position to provide support to one another. We welcome you to join us in whichever way serves you best. On these pages, you’ll find:

  • Resources as we share information on Illinois MSIs

  • Contacts if you’d like to connect with a network of like-minded people who work in MSIs

  • Advocacy for state resources to support MSIs
