Happy Tuesday!

We hope your week is going well! You are a few days from a well-deserved week off (Spring Break). We hope you are planning self-care during your time off. Check out some ideas below!

Also, it is week 10 of the semester. If you are struggling in any of your classes, this is the last week you are able to late-drop a course and earn a W on your transcript. While we do not encourage you to do this often, we know sometimes it is the best decision for you academically and personally. Please talk to your professors, TA's, advisors, and financial aid to make the best decision for your situation. Sophia Silva and Liz Ramirez are also available to chat if you want to process your options. To learn more about late drops, read the course late drop policy.

"For Spring Break, I plan on practicing self-care by being outdoors mostly running, biking, and hopefully will get the chance to swim!" - Sebastian Cortes

"I hope to read a new book and catch up with some friends!" -Liz Ramirez

"I would practice self-care by getting outside and trying to go for a walk on a sunny day to a park listening to music and bring a blanket to sit and journal for a while!" - Sophia Silva

We will discuss the benefits of presenting your research findings at professional conferences and how you can get your conference funded!

The 2022 UIC Undergraduate Research Forum will take place on 4/6/22.

If you are an undergraduate student who is involved in research or creative inquiry projects on campus under the direction of a UIC faculty member, please consider attending the Undergraduate Research Forum to present your work.

Undergraduate students can register to present at URF through 3/22.

Sign-up to volunteer during the Undergraduate Research Forum. If you are a first-year student, this is a great way to start learning about presenting research and to see all of the research other UIC students are doing.
