28 Days of Black Excellence
In February of 2022, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Engagement kicked off Black History Month with the launch of their new podcast “28 Days of Black Excellence”. The podcast ran daily throughout the month and spotlighted the history and achievements of UIC’s Black Alumni, faculty, and staff. The lineup features UIC graduates from 1975 to 2017 who have gone on to pursue careers such as engineers, social workers, professors, non-profit leaders, authors, and military personnel. Episodes explore the UIC and post-graduation experiences of these alumni, with a focus on their fondest memories, stories of resilience, and advice for the current and future generations of Black and African descent students, faculty, and staff.
