Independent student media at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign | The University of Illinois campus is a diverse community of students, faculty and staff involved in academics, research, athletics, fine arts and entertainment. Nestled between Champaign and Urbana, the University campus has its own health center, its own power plant and even its own mail system. And like any large community, the University needs its own media to provide news, information, entertainment and a record of the people and events that make up this constantly evolving campus.
