agreements and effective use. All FSL students and<br />
advisors reviewed and verified understanding of the newly<br />
updated FSL Handbook.<br />
Based on feedback collected from students, New <strong>Student</strong><br />
and Family Programs made significant changes to the<br />
Flames planner. These included decreasing the size of the<br />
planner, moving from a year-long planner to a semester<br />
planner in order to have more accurate event information<br />
for students, and reimagining the internal content of<br />
the planner to address current trends related to <strong>UIC</strong>/<br />
higher education (mental health resources, technology<br />
needs, racial justice initiate/university response, student<br />
accommodations, and food insecurity).<br />
New <strong>Student</strong> and Family Programs also launched First-<br />
Year Flames Abroad in partnership with Study Abroad and<br />
the College of Education. First-Year Flames Abroad is a<br />
10-day Study Abroad experience in Costa Rica for 15 <strong>UIC</strong><br />
first-year, first generation students.<br />
Both the Credit Union 1 Arena and Meetings and<br />
Conferences well exceeded their net revenue budget<br />
goals. The Arena was slotted to net $110,000 for the year<br />
and ended up netting $523,342; additionally, due to the<br />
pandemic, Meetings and Conferences was budgeted to<br />
lose $78,056 but ended up netting a positive $76,240. Both<br />
outcomes were the result of staff being well prepared to<br />
resume to normal activity and engaging with their clients to<br />
ensure that they would produce their events safely.<br />
Community Standards integrated the <strong>UIC</strong> CARE team<br />
with partners across student affairs and academic affairs in<br />
an effort to mitigate Covid non-compliance student cases.<br />
Specifically, for Campus Housing, Maxient was used<br />
as a case management tool to triangulate best practices<br />
between resident directors, area coordinators, and<br />
Community Standards staff to support students living within<br />
the residence halls.<br />
The Wellness Center, <strong>Student</strong> Employment, and the<br />
Office of Testing Services all completed external reviews<br />
of their units, bringing experts in the respective fields on<br />
campus for two days of meetings with key stakeholders.
