“The Maps They Gave Us Were
Out of Date by Years”
The rules break like a thermometer,
Quicksilver spreads across the charted system….
Whatever we do together if pure invention,
The maps they gave us were out of date by years
Adrienne Rich, 1978

Total number of undergraduate certificates (one-year and longer), associate’s degrees, and baccalaureate degrees
awarded each year in Illinois compared to the annual number necessary to meet the goal of 60 X 2025.
WHY is Meeting our Goal So
Important?
• By 2018, nearly 2/3 of all new and replacement jobs
in Illinois will require some form of postsecondary
education
• Currently 46% of Illinois young adults have a two or
four year college degree
• While we have seen progress it must be accelerated
• To address the “skills gap” and meet the talent needs
of Illinois we must reduce opportunity gaps for our
growing “underserved” population (1st generation,
low income, adults and students of color)
