Saluting 50 years of dedicated service to UIC Athletics
This campaign will honor 50 years of
accomplishments and service by raising $100,000 to name the UIC Athletic Director’s Suite in Tom’s honor. In 2010, Tom Russo’s professional association with UIC will enter its 50th year. After playing baseball and basketball as a student in 1956-58, Tom was named assistant baseball and basketball coach with the University of Illinois at Navy Pier in 1960, and to this day is extremely active and instrumental in the success of UIC Athletics. Russo’s years with athletics
Tom’s contributions to the university, to athletics’ ascent to Division I, to studentathletes and to the hundreds of colleagues he touched over the five decades cannot be measured. This is a great opportunity to show your appreciation to Tom.
