💙 A few more moments from our Millikin Retirees Brunch!

It was wonderful to welcome so many familiar faces back to campus Tuesday morning for a time of reconnecting, reminiscing and catching up with longtime friends.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so special. We always love having our retirees back on campus!

Once Big Blue, Always Big Blue. 💙

On International Day of Charity, we’re celebrating the many ways people choose to make a difference. 💙

For some, it’s supporting students. For others, it’s the arts, athletics, scholarships, community service or helping make sure students have what they need to succeed.

Programs like the Millikin Market are possible because people choose to care, give and show up for our students.

Millikin alumni, what cause or issue are you most passionate about supporting?

Help us celebrate Millikin’s newest retirees!
Did you have a class with Jim, Lori or Linda? Were you mentored by them, worked alongside them, or simply have a favorite memory or story? Share it in the comments below!

We’ll be collecting your messages and sharing them with our retirees so they can see just how many lives they’ve impacted throughout their years at Millikin. 💙

Together, these three incredible members of the Millikin community represent more than eight decades of dedication to Millikin University. That’s more than 80 years of showing up, making a difference, mentoring students and colleagues, creating opportunities, and helping make Millikin what it is today.

As they begin this next chapter, help us celebrate the incredible legacy they leave behind.

Once Big Blue, Always Big Blue. 💙

This morning, we welcomed Millikin retirees back to campus for our annual Retirees Brunch. While they were here, we asked a simple question:
“What did you love most about Millikin?”
Their answers say so much about what makes this place special — the people, the relationships, the students and the community they helped build.
And their impact continues.
Nearly 200 endowed scholarships, funds and awards at Millikin honor retired, emeritus and current faculty and staff. Last year alone, 140 students benefited from these financial opportunities.
It’s a pretty incredible reminder that the legacy you build at Millikin can continue making a difference for generations of students to come.
Interested in contributing to one of these funds or making a gift?
