Week 10: Explore UIC
We hope you enjoyed getting to meet our LAS faculty members over the last few weeks and are taking steps to continue connecting with your professors and TAs this semester! This week In LAS 110, classes will continue learning about UIC resources through Explore UIC presentations focused on Career Development. We hope these presentations will serve as a foundation for our exciting Explore My Major activities ahead in the next few weeks.

The last day to late drop a fall course is this Friday, October 29!
In addition to regular Tuesday drop-in hours, LAS general advisors have added additional online drop-in dates on Thursday, Oct. 28 & Friday Oct. 29 to accommodate student requests to late drop a class. LAS students are required to see their general advisor if they want to late drop a course. Not sure if you should late drop a course? Advisors are more than happy to discuss options and help support your success.

LAS 110 BSB Greenspace Project |
|
LAS 110 Intern Angelina Velez captured LAS 110 students from Justin Wier's classes in action as they engage with the ongoing UIC Behavioral Sciences Building Greenspace Project. Students are partnering with the campus to create a sustainable, student-friendly outdoor space. LAS 110 students recently planted outside BSB to attract important pollinators such as bees and butterflies, educated the campus through their art, and envisioned what a new sustainable gathering space could look like to improve life for UIC students. Our project has been supported by the UIC Sustainability Fee, PepsiCo, and a grassroots crowdfunding campaign. Check out the great work of LAS 110 students:

Tour Graceland Cemetery
4001 N. Clark St.
|
Enjoy a Halloween fright at the legendary north side cemetery, three blocks north of Wrigley Field. Graceland is home to famous Chicagoans — Marshall Field, Bertha Palmer, Jack Johnson, Ernie Banks — architectural beauties by Louis Sullivan, and quite a few ghost stories. Check out "Eternal Silence" by artist Lorado Taft to honor Dexter Graves and cross a bridge to an island where Chicago city planner Daniel Burnham is buried. Fall is a beautiful time to visit Graceland.
