The Wellness Center, Undergraduate Student Government (USG), the Greek Programming Board, and the Student Activities Board (SAB) need your help. A new service launched last semester called the Pop-Up Pantry, which provides canned goods and nonperishable items to homeless, low-income, and to any student who needs the resource. We need your support to continue this important service for our UIC community.
