Diversity is a long-standing UIC tradition and is vital to its success. The UIC Office of Diversity and Chancellor’s Status Committees facilitate inclusion and diversity on campus. UIC has been a federally designated minority serving institution since 2010. Three out of ten students are first generation college students and 80% of freshman state that diversity was important in their decision to attend UIC. UIC recently received the HEED Award, a national honor given to UIC recognizing commitment to diversity and inclusion on university and college campuses.

Your work at UIC will be guided by the expectations and goals outlined by your supervisor. UIC’s Employee Performance Program is competency-based and supports individual employees’ success in fulfilling the requirements of their current role and meeting the goals of their area and UIC. It begins by setting job expectations, and then continues to support employees with development conversations between supervisor and employee to provide guidance and coaching through the year.

Whether your goals include professional development, building relationships with colleagues, making a difference, or expanding your knowledge, there are many campus organizations where colleagues, students, and/or community members meet to work together toward those goals. There are many ways to get involved at UIC. Attend events on campus. Consider joining an advisory committee, council, or a chancellor committee. Talk to colleagues about opportunities for making your voice heard and shaping UIC’s future.
