Week 9: Learning More About UIC!
You're over halfway there! Good work. Keep up the energy! In LAS 110, you've started to learn about some of the resources that make UIC a wonderful place to learn and grow, and in this week's class, you will continue learning more about the unique resources and experiences you can have at UIC this semester. This week, your class will host presentations on UIC's culture- and identity-based resources or will interview an LAS faculty member to learn more about how faculty can help your success at UIC.
