• Wisdom's Torch Teaching and Learning Award- The Wisdom's Torch Award is designed to support teaching and learning. The Wisdom's Torch endowment was established through the generous support of COB faculty, staff, and administrators (both emeritus and currently employed). The origin of the name stems from a phrase in the university hymn: "may our alums go forth to bear, with zeal unceasing, Wisdom's Torch throughout the earth." The endowment supporting the award continues to grow through ongoing contributions with plans to award the expendable amount from the account each year. To donate to this fund, please contact Liz Adams (adams2@IllinoisState.edu).
