UIC History Presentation

Dear Student Org Leader,

* Want to know why UIC no longer has a football 

team or why the  University rejected a chance to 

have a football field built on South Campus to 

share with the Chicago Bears?

* What role did UIC play in the movie Star Wars?

* What was the thought behind A&A, BSB and SES's 

bizarre architectural layout?
    * Did you ever wonder why University Hall is built 

Upside Down looking?
    * Did you ever ask what is meant by things such as 

"The Pier Room" or "Circle Campus?"
    * Have you ever wondered what the requirements were 

for UIC College of  Medicine in the 1880s?
    * Has UIC ever faced such dark economic times before?

These and many other fascinating facts can be answered 

in a presentation on UIC History from the Office of 

the UIC Historian.  For years this presentation has 

been given to faculty, staff, and alumni audiences.  

Now it is available for you and your members.
