Welcome to week 10!
We hope your midterms have gone well so far! Use this time to reflect on your midterm grades and connect with your faculty and advisors if you have any questions or want to know your options. We are here to offer you a community and ways to destress.
Have a great week!

Make Mondays Matter

Taking place on the first Monday of each month, this regular service opportunity allows students to give back while on campus. This enables students who don't have the time or resources to serve in other ways to still contribute to community organizations. Projects are usually hands-on and involve making something. Make your Mondays matter! This month it will be knitting scarfs to be donated to the homeless shelters around the City of Chicago.
