The expanded term structure will offer greater opportunities to UIC students to make timely progress to graduation. For those administrators responsible for summer session planning who may have questions regarding the term changes, the Summer Session Office has created a brief set of FAQs about the new summer session term structure [ http://www.uic.edu/depts/summer/downloads/FAQadmin.doc]. The list is dynamic and will be added to throughout the Fall semester. We also have available a color calendar of the new session dates for summer 2008 [ http://www.uic.edu/depts/summer/downloads/4and8calendar.pdf], in pdf format, that can be printed for reference and posting. We encourage you to forward this email to individuals in your unit who are involved in summer planning or who may be affected by the change. If you have questions that have not been addressed in the FAQ, please feel free to contact either Cordelia Maloney or Natalie Kokorudz at the phone numbers or emails listed below: Cordelia Maloney:          996-8586 cordelia@uic.edu Natalie Kokorudz:          413-9075 nkokor1@uic.edu   From: DDDH Send Date: October 18, 2007 11:38:32 AM CDT To: DDDH@LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Subject: Honorary Degree Nominations Reply-To: DDDH Send Dear Deans, Directors, and Department Heads:   The Senate External Relations and Public Service Committee invite you and members of your unit to submit nominations for consideration in awarding honorary degrees at UIC.   The approved guidelines for awarding honorary degrees at UIC, including eligibility criteria, nomination procedures, process and timelines can be accessed at: http://www.uic.edu/depts/senate/HonoraryDegreeGuidelines.pdf.   The deadline for receipt of official nominations and all supporting documents is noon on Monday, December 3, 2007.   If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth Dooley, Clerk of the Senate at , 996-2926.   Respectfully,   Rosemary Walker Chair, Senate External Relations and Public Service Committee and Honorary Degree Nominating Committee   From: DDDH Send Date: October 23, 2007 11:40:20 AM CDT To: DDDH@LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Subject: Now accepting nominations for the Student Leadership Award and Activities Honorary Society! Reply-To: DDDH Send Recognizing student leaders at UIC…   Nominations are due Wednesday, January 9th for the 2008 Student Leadership Award and the 2008 Activities Honorary Society!  The University of Illinois Alumni Association (UIAA) is proud to offer two prestigious awards recognizing student leaders for their exceptional contributions at UIC.    The 2008 Student Leadership Award is given to undergraduate, graduate or professional students with at least a B average (3.0/4.0) who have received their degrees in summer (August 2007) or fall (December 2007), or who are candidates for graduation in spring (May 2008). In addition, nominees should also be associated with diverse leadership roles within one or several student organizations, volunteer services or campus departments where a profound impact was made due to the student’s leadership efforts. Recipients will be the guests of the Alumni Association at the UIAA Leadership Awards Dinner in their honor on March 13, 2008.   The 2008 Activities Honorary Society recognizes students whose participation in a variety of activities on campus has contributed to a better community for everyone. Eligible nominees must be associated with at least three relatively diverse student organizations with a key role in at least one of the three, and be in good academic standing (2.5/4.0 minimum) with at least 72 credit hours completed by the end of the spring semester. Recipients are selected by past AHS inductees. This member selection, a 58 year history and the loyal support of an active alumni organization make AHS unique among student organizations. Inductees will be honored at a private ceremony sponsored by the UIAA on Sunday, April 13, 2008.    To nominate a student online, visit www.uiaa.org/chicago/awards, and click on either the Student Leadership Award or Activities Honorary Society.  If you have questions please contact Alicia Sines, Assistant Director, Student Programs at asedbe1@uic.edu  or 312/413-0398.    University of Illinois Alumni Association Building Relationships For Life www.uiaa.org From: DDDH Send Date: October 23, 2007 11:42:50 AM CDT To: DDDH@LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Subject: Taste of UIC!!

Of course, subject to faculty availability, and in response to student demand and enrollment patterns, new sections of approved courses may be added at any point during the registration cycle to meet student needs. In order to protect students' registrations as much as possible, the following changes may not be made after the start of Advance Registration (November 5, 2007) if the section has enrollment of more than 5 students:  -changes of the meeting time at which a section is scheduled; -changes in the days for which a section is scheduled; -dropping of a section; -capping the enrollment of a course below the number of already registered students. If a department wishes to request an exemption from the moratorium, a written request with a rationale should be presented to the line college for review and, if approved, directed to Midge Grosch (mmgrosch@uic.edu) in the Office of Programs and Academic Assessment for review and action.  Section changes with five or fewer registered students do not require Programs Office review at any point during the registration cycle and may be effected by contacting the Schedule of Classes (Timetable) Office at extension 3-3640 directly.  Colleges or schools may wish to approve and/or be notified of these types of changes, depending on college/school policy.   The Office of Registration and Records will be informed of all dropped sections and will be asked to remove students' names from these cancelled sections.  Regardless of how many students are already registered in a changed or dropped section, it is the responsibility of the department or college to notify these students of any change. Beginning the first day of instruction for the term, departments may change the meeting time and days for which a section is scheduled, regardless of the number of students already enrolled, so long as: a) the number of instructional hours is preserved; b) all students concur with the schedule change; and c) the Schedule of Classes (Timetable) Office is notified of the change in order to adjust University records for the term and make certain there are no room conflicts with the new schedule. If you have any questions about the above information, feel free to contact Kim Neumann via e-mail at khubalik@uic.edu or Julie Kofod at jkofod@uic.edu.   From: DDDH Send Date: October 25, 2007 9:56:08 AM CDT To: DDDH@LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Subject: CETL Curriculum & Instruction Grants Deadline Reply-To: DDDH Send The Council for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and the Office of Faculty Affairs invites applications for Curriculum and Instruction Grants, with a deadline of Tuesday, November 27, 2007.    This program provides seed money for faculty initiatives designed to enhance the quality of teaching and learning at UIC.  Over the years, the grants have provided over $700,000 in “seed money” for faculty initiatives at UIC.  The purpose of the program is to build a fund of innovations, demonstration projects, and experiences that will contribute to an atmosphere of curricular and instructional excellence at UIC. Applications that incorporate innovative approaches to general education, interdisciplinary and cross-departmental instruction, and the measurement of student learning outcomes are particularly encouraged.   All tenured, tenure-track, and voting members of the faculty of any UIC college or school are eligible to apply for C & I Grants. Application guidelines and materials are available at http://www.uic.edu/depts/oaa/cetl/cig/coversheet.pdf.    For more information, please contact Laura Stempel in the Office of Faculty Affairs at 5-2499 or via e-mail at lstempel@uic.edu.    Additional information is also available on CETL’s web site, located at  http://www.uic.edu/depts/oaa/cetl/cig/index.html.

As we enter this holiday season, many of us will reflect on the past year and realize how lucky we are that we have our health, a roof over our head, and our friends and family.   Unfortunately, many people are not so lucky. However, there are many charitable organizations in our community and throughout the world that are designed to help those less fortunate than us.  Many of you may not be aware that you can give to charity through payroll deduction here on campus or through a one-time cash donation.  UIC participates in the SECA (State and University Employee Combined Appeal) Campaign which allows employees to give to over 2,223 different charities.  Even a small donation can make a world of difference to those in need. Food for thought:   ·        $ 1 a week purchases a gallon of milk for one family at a domestic violence center   ·        $5 per week provides housing, one meal and assistance toward a goal of self-sufficiency to 20 homeless individuals   ·        $ 10 per pay provides 1 lightweight wheelchair to a person who is physically challenged ·     $25 per pay will provide for a patient to get a CT scan Each of you should have received a pledge form and SECA brochure from your departmental representative.  The pledge form allows employees to contribute to several different charities and also allows employees to have their name listed in next year's SECA brochure.  Employees can contribute in two ways: continuous payroll deduction or through a one-time donation.  Employees who contribute through continuous payroll deduction have a set amount withdrawn from their check each pay period.  For those who just wish to donate a lump sum, they may do so by filling out the One Time Direct Gift section of the form and writing a check made payable to “Campus Chest” for the total amount. If you take the time to look through the SECA brochure, you will see that State of Illinois employees are able to contribute to over 2,223 different charities through the Charitable Fund Drive. Whether you choose to support WBEZ-National Public Radio, Doctors Without Borders, the United Negro College Fund, the American Cancer Society, or countless others, you may do so through the Campus Charitable Fund Drive.  As we come to the end of another successful Campus Charitable Fund Drive/SECA campaign, I would like to give my sincerest thanks to all of those who contributed to the CCFD by donating their money, time and support.  Each and every recipient of your contributions is extremely grateful for the generosity and support of so many caring University employees. Once again, thank you for your support.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 312-996-3504, alysag@uillinois.edu, or Dana Poncher at 312-413-2960, dponcher@uic.edu.  Please remember that completed forms must be turned in to MC 212 no later than December 4. Thank you again for considering the Campus Charitable Fund Drive.
