Illinois launches global center of excellence in food and agricultural communications
Help us fulfill Dr. Evans’ vision for the future
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the future of food and agricultural communications — and honor the lifelong legacy of Dr. James F. Evans.
To establish the Evans Center and fuel his bold vision, we’re working to raise $5 million by what will be a milestone moment — Jim’s 93rd birthday on 9/3.
