mentors when they enter the Business Scholars program. Our faculty

1. Tell me a little about yourself. Hello! My name is Michael
Martinez, and I'm a UIC Business Scholar. I'm pursuing a

about my studies, and I'm always trying to expand the scope of my
education. I'm a member of three UIC programs: the President's
Award Program, the UIC Business Scholars, and the Guaranteed
Professional Program Admissions for medicine (GPPA for...

On Friday September 25, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend
my very last Celebrating UIC Business dinner. This definitely was a
bittersweet moment for me because it was my third and final year of
attending the dinner as a student of the College of Business
Administration. This year marked the 50th Anniversary of the
college, and in its 50-year lifespan, the college has thrived to
become a top-ranked business school with an international
reputation. . On this night,
donors had the...

Did you get a scholarship or grant this past year? Did you receive
a refund deposited to your bank account after all tuition and fees
were paid? If you answered yes to both of those questions, then you
should keep reading. Actually, you should keep reading regardless
because this is good knowledge to have about taxes, scholarships
and grants, and reporting it to the IRS. I did not find out I had
to pay taxes on scholarships and grants until after April
15 last year. I had to pay a late penalty...

As a high school junior or senior, graduating college probably
seemed like a lifetime away. But after the excitement of
being admitted, registering for classes, and completing
orientation, time flew by with the busyness that college life
brings. Classes, group projects, student organizations,
internships, exams, working, and more filled the last four years of
your life and turned you into a highly skilled young professional.
Now you find yourself in your senior year gearing up...

With my final year at UIC fast approaching (final because I’m
planning to graduate a year early), I decided to stop and take a
few moments to reflect on my second year within UIC Business. I
wouldn't lie to you: it's been a year of ups and downs, but
thankfully more ups than downs. Certainly, I feel like I'm in a
good place right now, so I wanted to share a few of my highlights
and the things I learned this year. My Major This year really gave
me a better sense of direction as to what I want to...
