In solidarity with Chicago State University (CSU), 200 UIC students will be able to visit the state capital on February 10 with CSU in support and urging for our state to make a decision on the budget. For those of you that do not know, if a decision has not been made by the end of term, UIC students will be required to pay any money they received in MAP Grants that year and the school could also be facing a similar crisis as CSU. President Barack Obama will also be in Springfield that day giving an address to lawmakers. This event is open to all UIC students free of cost sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Government. This is an all-day event and buses will be leaving SCE at 7 am on Wednesday, February 10. Only the first 200 students will be invited to attend. If students would like to attend, they must email Illinois.SOS@gmail.com to RSVP.
