Offices and Initiatives
Centers for Cultural Understanding and Social Change
The seven Centers for Cultural Understanding and Social Change are a collaborative group that aims to make UIC a welcoming and inclusive place for all students, faculty and staff.
Rigo Padilla Pérez Undocumented Student Resource Center
The Rigo Padilla Pérez Undocumented Student Resource Center was founded in October 2023. Inspired by the resilience and dedication of Rigo Padilla Pérez, the center opened its doors as a sanctuary for undocumented and mixed-status students at the University of Illinois Chicago. Since then, we have been committed to providing a welcoming and empowering space where students can access resources, build community, and receive support throughout their educational journey.
Office of Community Collaboration
UIC’s Office of Community Collaboration (OCC) is dedicated to catalyzing community and economic growth in Auburn Gresham and North Lawndale, serving as a vital partner and steward for change.
Bridge to Faculty
The Bridge to Faculty (B2F) program supports postdoctoral scholars with the goal of a direct transition to a tenure-track junior faculty position after two years.
Equity Dashboard
