STRATEGIC PRIORITY THREE 14 synergy with chicago CREATE SYNERGY WITH THE CITY TO FOSTER MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN OUR STUDENTS AND CHICAGO UIC Student Affairs is well positioned to be a bridge between the university, the city, and its residents, including alumni, by embracing our relationship and commitment to Chicago. We have an opportunity to model the relationship the university can have with the city through our programs on- and off-campus, in our facilities, as well as through partnerships created to support our students and surrounding community. We must further create intentional opportunities for students to learn by doing and develop into socially responsible active citizens by getting involved with neighborhood communities and the city. Capitalizing on Chicago’s rich diversity will allow for students to interact with and learn from communities different than their own.
In an effort to raise UIC’s profile in the city and to offer a new and dynamic option for food delivery, Dining Services partnered with Chartwells & Starship Food Delivery Robots to bring this program to UIC. Student Affairs Financial Services maintained occupancy above 90% in retail spaces in the University Village Maxwell Street area throughout COVID. They also re-negotiated the second year of COVID leases for certain tenants as part of a strategy to maintain occupancy and improved safety of the development by closing streets during certain hours and closing the development at 1:00 a.m. every day. Student Affairs Financial Services also saw significantly increased financial planning, projections, budgeting, and other reporting burdens as a result of COVID. FY 2022 results included documenting $4 million in COVID 19 Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund monies for Campus Housing, which helped to offset lost Housing revenue due to COVID. Student Leadership and Civic Engagement tracked 4435 service hours completed from August 2021 to May 2022 by 181 different students in their respective communities. 15 2022 ANNUAL REPORT IRI Diverse Marketing Scholars Program In the wake of the protests stemming from George Floyd’s murder, Christian Gray (Class of 2016) joined a team of colleagues focused on combating inequities in the marketing industry. Gray currently works for Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) and formerly served as Student Activities Board (SAB) President at UIC. Gray called Joy Vergara, Executive Director of the Center for Student Involvement and Student Leadership & Civic Engagement. “Being involved with SAB, I knew [CSI was] the most reachable for establishing a partnership and connecting with students,” Gray said. Gray and Vergara created the UIC IRI Diverse Marketing Scholars Program. The year-long 1:1 mentorship program focuses on students with minoritized identities interested in marketing. On Saturdays, students participate in culturally responsive professional development sessions and have access to unique case studies utilizing proprietary. Students also receive a $1,000 Scholarship. Vergara sees this program as the frontier for experiential learning within CSI: “Trying to find experiences that have a financial connection, a scholarship opportunity, is what thrilled me to be able to work with a corporation.” Vergara stated. IRI is continuing the program for a second year and expanding capacity from 10 to 15 scholars. The Center for Student Involvement is looking for additional corporate and nonprofit partners to expand student opportunities based on the IRI Scholars model.
