Class of 2025
CONGRATULATIONS ILLINOIS ECE GRADUATES
We can't wait to celebrate you and your accomplishments.
Here is where you will find all the celebrations, information, and more for the department's activities surrounding 2025 commencement and convocation.
Complete the Illini Success Survey
Whether you have already accepted a job or graduate school offer, have plans to start a business, will be volunteering in the community or abroad, or are still defining your next steps, we ask that you share information about your post-graduation plans.
Completion of the survey qualifies you for a drawing to win a variety of prizes, including Amazon gift cards, Illinois business card holders, and diploma frames. It also provides us with critical information necessary for career and academic advising, student recruitment, and institutional reporting needs.
