Come check out the Centers for Cultural Understanding and Social Change (CCUSC) at UIC! Our Fall 2024 Open Houses celebrate the activism that gave rise to each of our Centers. Meet our staff, learn about our histories and upcoming programs, and reflect on the student activism that has made an impact on UIC! We’ll have a pop-up mini exhibit about disability activism at UIC for everyone to explore.
The second half of the Open House will be hybrid, and we’ll hear from our collaborators and share some highlights for the coming semester, including ways you can get involved with our work!
Before that, we’ll be mingling with some drinks, pizza, and cupcakes on the 2nd floor outdoor patio of the Behavioral Sciences Building– you’re also welcome to venture inside and check out the disability activism exhibition and our Lounge spaces! (We’ll have gluten free, vegan, and GF+V options.)
- 12-1pm (In person) Mingling & self-guided tours
- 1pm-2pm (In person & on Zoom) Welcome, DCC announcements & ways to get involved
Covid safety: UIC does not require masking, but we are still masking indoors as an accessibility measure for chronically ill / immunocompromised folks and those living interdependently with them. Please wear a mask in our spaces! We’ll have extras on hand. Zoom is another Covid-cautious option.
Access info: Our Center is on the 2nd floor and physically accessible via elevator. The patio can be accessed via lift and has ramps connecting its various levels. We’ll have ASL interpreters available. For the hybrid portion, we will have CART captions projected into the space with the Zoom. Please get in touch with any access requests or questions at dcc@uic.edu or 312-355-7050!

Along the bottom are navy and lavender toned photos of an “Access is a right” banner drop with a student signing “i love you” hands, a table with posters and poster making supplies, and four Disability Pride Parade signs in the DCC that say “Crip Love is the Best,” “Crips say close the camps,” “Liberation for all,” and “Queer, Disabled, and Proud.”
