Student Support Staff Heading link

One of the Equity and Inclusion in Engineering Program's greatest strengths is that it allows students to serve students. Undergraduate and graduate students play the roles below to help their peers achieve academically at UIC. Our student team members also take the lead in creating a sense of community in the program.
  • Graduate Assistants

    Graduate assistants, who may be pursuing master’s or doctoral degrees at UIC Engineering, provide valuable mentorship and guidance for fellow students.

  • Undergraduate Student Workers

    Undergraduate student workers, who work on an hourly basis during the week, help to maintain the academic atmosphere in the Equity and Inclusion in Engineering Program Lounge and complete office work. They also assist with community outreach and retention efforts.
