Revamped Website Links UIC Students to Campus Resources for Success

Ja’Waun Williams, a senior in the UIC College of Education

When Ja’Waun Williams began his first year at the University of Illinois Chicago, he knew that if he was going to thrive in college, he couldn’t do it alone. When Mayra Villa joined UIC, she felt culture shock from the new environment. Cristal Ramirez transferred from City Colleges of Chicago with an associate degree, but she still felt as nervous as any freshman might when she first stepped onto the UIC campus.

UIC Today reports, now seniors on their way to graduation, the three students excelled at UIC by learning to tap into the plethora of opportunities provided to them.

“UIC is committed to providing every opportunity to help students succeed from the minute they are accepted,” said Nikos Varelas, vice provost for undergraduate affairs and academic programs. “Our revamped website provides students with easy access to services, from tutoring assistance for a specific class to information about student success units where they can find a community that can help them succeed.”
