Welcome to LAS 110: Experience UIC! |
|
You are a part of the UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences community — wherever you may be this fall: in the classroom, meeting with faculty, using our great tutoring resources; across the campus, the city of Chicago, Illinois, and beyond; and online with our weekly LAS 110 classes and this resource, LAS 110 News. Each week LAS 110 News will share tips, help you navigate your first-semester, and explore how to Experience UIC during this unique fall semester.
LAS 110 is designed for first-year students to:
-
Identify and utilize UIC programs, resources, and services that will support their academic success, personal needs, and co-curricular campus involvement.
-
Explore strengths, abilities, values, and motivation and apply this self-knowledge to personal and academic goal-setting.
-
Practice professional and effective ways to communicate with UIC faculty, staff and peers to build a sense of belonging, foster community, and create a support network.
-
Learn about the value of a liberal arts and sciences education and the purpose of general education. Students will develop a plan that demonstrates their responsibility for their own education and how the academic curriculum connects to their personal and professional interests.
