Week 7: LAS 110
With the CliftonStrengths assessment complete, we look forward to using what you have learned about your strengths as we continue exploring UIC resources and ways to connect on campus. This week, groups will begin delivering their Explore UIC presentations, and classes will prepare for the Connect with UIC Faculty module and much more!

These are some highlights of what your LAS 110 classmates had to say:
"My favorite event that I have attended so far has got to be the New Student Convocation. Other students should attend it because you get to learn a lot about campus, get free merch and you can invite your friends and family!" — Hania Ahmed
"My favorite event that I have attended at UIC this year is Family Weekend. We all had a really fun time at the Saturday brunch and at the afternoon campus tours." — Megan Gordon
"My favorite event on campus so far was the Involvement Fair. It really showed my how many clubs UIC has to offer." — Ibrahim Sayeed
