The University of Illinois Psychology Class of 2020 is raising money to support various areas of need in the Psychology Department to leave a legacy and give back to future students. We need your help to give back!
Funds raised in support of the Psychology Senior Class Gift Fund will provide unrestricted support for the Department of Psychology. Your donation will go towards gifts such as, but not limited to, updates in the Psychology Atrium, study spaces, new research equipment and computers, I-Flex classrooms, and more.
Funds raised will be used for timely or most-pressing needs within the Department of Psychology. Most recently, the Shape the Future Today Fund has been used to support graduate student conference travel and research. Research support is also vital for graduate students who conduct independent pilot studies to help develop their dissertation proposals, purchase equipment, and/or pay subjects to participate in their research.

The Honors Program Fund supports the research activities of the students enrolled in the Honors Program.
Bill Greenough spent more than 40 years at the University of Illinois, and in addition to his contributions to this university, he had a marvelous research career in Neuroscience. Many will argue his true legacy lies with the special interest he took in the students in his lab, those he mentored and with whom he shared his passion for the process of science. We strive to continue Bill's legacy of student support at Illinois.

James Davis was a member of the Department of Psychology from 1967-1997. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is considered one of his generation's greatest social psychologists, based on his research investigating how groups of people make decisions. Much of his work focused on how juries make decisions, and his research had an immense impact—it has been cited frequently by the Supreme Court and other governmental authorities. It has also influenced business and management practices.
The James Davis Fellowship is an asset in recruiting and maintaining high-quality graduate students in the Social-Personality Program.
