    Sep 26, 2014 12:45 pm85 views

    The Office of Campus Learning Environments (OCLE) is seeking two to three 3 HC students to serve on its Advisory Board and help shape the physical learning environment at UIC.  Please consider volunteering to serve on this important campus committee.  It’s a great way to have your student voice heard!

    You might know the work of our office best by recent renovation projects like Lincoln Hall, Douglas Hall, the 1st floor of Stevenson Hall, Lecture Center A, Lecture Center F, or the many Oasis spaces  across campus.  The ideal participants on our Board are students who are interested in improving the learning environment at UIC.  The time commitment is minimal (only one meeting per semester) but the impact could be significant.

    If you think that you would be a great addition to the Advisory Board then please send an email to Dave Taeyaerts, Associate Vice Chancellor of Facilities and Director of the Office of Campus Learning Environments (davet@uic.edu) with your name, year in school, major, a couple of sentences describing why you are interested and if it is available please also include a copy of your resume.

    The workshop will be engaging! Free t-shirts will be given away during the presentation, and time will be left at the end to answer student questions about graduate school or anything else! 

    NSCS at UIC is hosting the event but it is open to the public. Feel free to bring along your friends or anyone else who may be interested in attending this workshop!  Contact Muhammad Baig at mbaig27@uic.edu with questions.
