The mission of the Pop-Up Pantry is to combat food insecurity among UIC students. UIC students come from diverse backgrounds and our aim is to assist those who may be facing personal or financial hardship. It is especially important that during these college years that all students are healthy and able to focus by always having enough to eat. Research shows that proper nutrition is critical for cognitive function and memory. Food is a basic human right.
Pop-Up Pantry Hours: Every Wednesday and Thursday, 1-4pm
Pop-Up Pantry Fall 2020 Location: Student Center East Tower, Room 603

What Are You Listening To? |

"Over the summer L@S GANAS launched a podcast as a way for people to learn about the amazing opportunities our students have in science research labs on campus. Veronica Arreola, L@S GANAS program director talks with a different student each episode about what they are working on in their lab and it is so fascinating. If you want to remind yourself why we do what we do and the dreams that we are supporting here at UIC for students, you should listen!"
-Sophia Silva, LAS 110 Instructor

"I have recently started listening to the Michele Obama podcast and absolutely love it. She is a dose of hope, optimism and realism that I need on a weekly basis! She has conversations with her husband, mom, brother and friends about everyday topics like community, family and relationships."
-Liz Ramirez, LAS 110 Instructor
