The MSTP hosts a variety of academic events throughout the year to which the UIC faculty and student community is cordially invited. These events include three seminar series every year, a bi-weekly Lunch Seminar, a monthly Dinner Seminar (reservations required), a series of student Grand Rounds at various times throughout the year, and student Thesis Defense seminars.
In early spring, to chase away the blahs of too much winter, the students organize a gala charity social event called the Soiree. Held in a swank venue with good food and drink (subsidized by Program), the Soiree raises funds through "admission" donations from students and faculty for the students' favorite charity, the Student Run Free Clinic at Community Health Center. It is a fun evening, as evidenced in the photo above.
In August, the student body travels to an off-site resort for a 2-day Retreat filled with intellectual stimulation provided by a distinguished keynote speaker and interactive break-out sessions, as well as recreation and relaxation. In February, the MSTP student participate in the all annual all-COM Student Research Form to which they append their own Research Symposium featuring talks by several of the advanced students. The calendar below will be updated as new events become scheduled.
