Gender and Sexuality Center
Through innovative programs, interactive workshops, special events, and the sharing of resources, we challenge heteronormativity and transphobia to promote deeply engaged and life affirming thinking, learning, and action.
Student Leadership and Civic Engagement
Opportunities for participation in service projects and volunteering, and civic engagement education and participation. SLCE encourages staff, faculty, and alumni to participate in the MLK Day of Service in January and the UIC Day of Service in April each year. More details about those opportunities are posted at service.uic.edu, which requires a UIC login or the creation of a non-UIC user profile to sign up to volunteer. Additionally, faculty, staff, and alumni are welcome to use SLCE resources for voter education and register to vote through vote.uic.edu.
