Week 5: Pre-MFA, Student Panels, and More!
This week, LAS 110 classes will wrap up their Pre-MFA presentations with our great LAS advisors, others may have visits from LAS students leaders, and others may partner with campus resources for a unique classroom activity. Check your course calendars and any announcements from your instructors sent through Blackboard or email to find out what you'll be doing!
Also, you should now have generated some ideas with your Explore UIC team for possible subjects for your video or presentation! We look forward to seeing all the unique projects you develop for Explore UIC in the coming weeks!
