Sunrisers Help out at Pop-up Food Distribution
Sunrisers don’t just eat breakfast. We dig in and work too.

C-U Sunrise Learns About the New U of I College of Medicine
It was wonderful to have Dr. King Li share breakfast with us.
As the inaugural Dean of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine he is well-suited to speak of the College’s unique intersection of engineering and medicine.
This concept will use cutting-edge research and technology to address current health issues as well as those of the future.
Thank you Dr. Li.
Dr. King Li, Dean of the University of Illinois College of Medicine
