10th Annual CUCelebrates — Tuesday, February 17, 2026
Whether you first knew us as Concordia Teachers College, Concordia College, Concordia University, or Concordia University Chicago—whether you still say River Forest or simply CUC—we all call it home.
That sense of home continues in every student who finds belonging here today because alumni like you keep the doors open wide. As we celebrate the 10th annual CUCelebrates on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, we invite you to help ensure Concordia remains “home” for the next generation.
The highest impact way to help students right now is a gift to our Pillars Fund. These flexible, nonrestricted dollars go exactly where they’re needed most across every corner of campus:
- Affordability & Scholarships — close gaps so students can say “yes” to Concordia.
- Mission & Ministry Support — strengthen chapel, sacred music, service, and pastoral care.
- Academic Excellence & Program Development — resource high-caliber teaching and learning.
- Campus Stewardship & Modernization — sustain a safe, welcoming, and modern campus.
In honor of our founding in 1864, choose a special giving level!
Help us reach 100 new CUCelebrates donors and we’ll receive a $50k matching gift!
Thank you for making Concordia a home for students today and for years to come.
