Did you know UIC was originally named University of Illinois at Congress Circle and was later changed to University of Illinois at Chicago Circle prior to opening in 1965. Today’s #tbt is taking us 57 years in the past to 1964, with a view of campus construction. #tbt

We’ve passed the midway point of the Outpatient

We’ve passed the midway point of the Outpatient Surgery Center & Specialty Clinics on West Campus. As part of the construction project, UI Health is focusing on engaging minority-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned businesses, with a goal of 30% of construction costs supporting these businesses. The new building and expanded clinical services also will create more than 100 full-time positions that are part of UIC collective bargaining units. I am very impressed with the progress! We expect to welcome patients in fall 2022. Swipe to see a rendering of OSC!

Wishing you a happy and safe Independence Day!

This holiday marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday.

Professor Eric Stabb, Head of UIC’s Department of Biological Sciences and Hazem Alkhan, a UIC undergraduate student, currently working on his UIC Capstone Honors Project involving birds, were able to take part in the banding of two Peregrine Falcons chicks that hatched on campus. With the collaboration of the Chicago Field Museum Bird Division, the chicks are retrieved, each is banded, a blood draw is completed, and they are put back until they are ready to flee the nest! Swipe to see mama falcon watching the banding take place. She was relieved when we placed her babies back in their nest!

The campus opened in 1946 with approximately 4,000 students enrolled, most of which were veterans. #throwbackthursday #UIC
