UIC Honors College

In Honor of Juneteenth, our office will be closed on June 19th

Coming soon, a new video feature! Hear from Biological Sciences major Arnav Sharma as he shares his journey into research. Arnav details everything from what working in a lab is like, why he chose his major, navigating between West and East campus and how to keep (mostly) calm when presenting your findings at Harvard and the Undergraduate Research Forum (URF).

Arnav would like to give a special thanks (pictured left) to his Principal Investigator, Dr. Richard D Minshall.

We at the Honors College are sad to see our Assistant Dean for Recruitment and Admissions, David Boyd, start a new chapter. From being our resident DJ and horror movie guru to a true champion of the mission of the UIC Honors College, David has made a lasting impact on our community.

And as if the occasion wasn’t special enough, today also happens to be his birthday! 🎂✨

Happy birthday, David, and best of luck on your next adventure 🎉
