A Day for Vision
In these exciting times, you are invited join us as we observe the 29th anniversary of the inaguration of Ronald Wilson Reagan.
On a cold January 20, 1981, at noon, five decades after he served as president of the student senate at Eureka College, Ronald Reagan raised his hand to take the oath of office as the 40th President of the United States.
The inaugural address he delivered that afternoon spelled out a vision that has anchored the national discussion and debate to this day.
The journey that led this man to the Presidency is a profound American story whose narrative can help inspire each new generation, but only if we continue to share it.
Ronald Reagan is the only president born in Illinois, and he held onto his Midwestern roots for all his years, never forgetting the humble lessons of freedom, equality and dignity he took with him from growing up in Dixon and graduating from Eureka College. Through the efforts of The Ronald W. Reagan Society of Eureka College, his alma mater continues to honor his extraordinary example of lifelong critical thinking and his sense of servant leadership we instill in our students and encourage as a model for people everywhere.
Thank you for all you do to help support Eureka College as a living legacy for the story of Ronald Reagan. The inauguration photo above is courtesy of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, and we are grateful to be able to share it with you.
Reagan Forward!
