Future doctor Justin Banks had his pick of top colleges, but UIC’s one-of-a-kind academic opportunities topped them all.

Biomedical engineers design life-saving new technologies, so that’s exactly what UIC undergrad Lesly Villarreal did.

“I’m Latinx, first-generation and LGBTQ,” says UIC senior Christian Zavala. “That’s just who I am.”

Sonya Gupta is kind of (very) extraordinary but the Illinois native credits her remarkable success to a UIC community that always had her back.

For UIC Radio’s Sheri Tarrer, “Joining a campus organization ensured that I’d always have a place to belong.”

Nick Jones has dreamed of visiting Seoul, South Korea. “It showed me that there was an entire world outside of the United States, much less Chicago.”

So many majors and programs to explore. Look around!
