learning that takes place in multiple spaces and engages with communities in Chicago and beyond. GLAS is a proud recipient and beneficiary of four five-year grants totaling $7.1 million dollars (that will span 2010 – 2026) from the Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution ( AANAPISI ) program of the U.S. Department of Education. These grants federally designate UIC as a Minority Serving Institution by supporting the recruitment, retention, and graduation of Asian American, Pacific Islander, and English language learner students. The grants have provided a number of curricular and co-curricular initiatives in GLAS including supplemental tutoring, academically integrated mentorship, internship opportunities, and community-engaged curriculum.

I believe that here at UIC, every department has its gems, but the experiences of those who have come through the program, myself included, have led me to realize that in the GLAS program, UIC has amassed a collection of them. And if this is true for a program in its founding, experimental years, I can scarcely imagine the extent of community-building, achievement, and innovation that the staff and faculty of GLAS will help foster at UIC when it reaches full bloom.” Elizabeth Chang, 2018 UIC alumna, BS Biological Sciences and GLAS Minor GLAS cultivates diverse and intergenerational learning spaces that advocate student-led dialogues. GLAS courses challenged my perceptions of myself and society, and the professors advocated for me to be an agent of social change by helping me develop the skills of storytelling, coalition building, engaged listening and reading, and organizing. I feel comfortable sharing my story and identities with others. I am able to connect multiple organizations, artists, faculty, and activists together for a common cause. I have pitched ideas in ways of organizing the Dyke March in Argyle and creating campaigns against Monsanto. With these tools, I am empowered to realize my dreams of cultivating safe and enriching spaces, reflective of the classroom spaces I shared with professors and peers.” G.
