College Archived Updates

College Programming and Orientation Announcement

We have been closely following the evolving situation with coronavirus (COVID-19), and have decided in accordance with University guidance and for the safety of our community and visitors to cancel the Winter Quarter Senior Pub Night that was planned for tomorrow, March 11th as well as the Fourth-Year Signature Event taking place on April 16th.

Although the local COVID-19 problem in Illinois is still limited, public health officials have said that continuing growth of cases is likely and large events, such as these ones for all Fourth-Year students, can pose an added risk. As a result, on March 10 the University suspended most University-sponsored events and gatherings of more than 100 people.

We recognize that this is disappointing news and we thank you for your understanding and flexibility. We strive to make decisions that protect our students' health and well-being and unfortunately these circumstances are out of our control.
