Meet Goodwin, Illinois' virtual engagement officer.
Powered by artificial intelligence, Goodwin is a new way to explore what’s happening across the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and discover opportunities to connect with the people, programs, and ideas that matter to you.
Goodwin can answer questions, share timely updates, and help you learn more about the many ways donors and friends are advancing Illinois. And because every relationship with Illinois is unique, Goodwin will ask questions, listen to what interests you, and help guide the conversation from there.
Goodwin is AI, but its purpose is deeply human: to help us build stronger, more personal relationships with the Illinois community at a broader scale.


"As a public university with a land grant mission, the University of Illinois has long embraced innovation in connecting with and serving our community. Goodwin represents one way we are exploring how technology can help us provide timely contact and information, with a desire to create opportunities for engagement. By expanding how we inform, involve, and connect with our community of alumni, donors, partners and other stakeholders, we can strengthen relationships and support the university’s mission of enhancing lives through learning, discovery, engagement, and innovation. Most importantly, Goodwin is designed to support the human relationships and stewardship that remain at the heart of our work."
