Thank you all for showing up to our whiteboard campaign for improved access to mental health services!
We are meeting with the director of counseling center this coming week, and we want to let him know about students' experiences with the center and mental health services on-campus. Please take a couple minutes to share your thoughts (even if you've never accessed mental health services on-campus)! Responses are completely anonymous unless you leave your contact information, and we will not share anyone's contact information with the director.

Undergraduates stand in solidarity with the GEO!
Between our ongoing strike and the looming possibility of the faculty going on strike too, UIC undergrads are fed up with the administration. They're calling for a boycott of classes today & tomorrow, and will join GEO tomorrow at noon for a rally in the quad! They've also created this petition: https://bit.ly/2YPeh6j We stand with our students just as they stand with us.
