                UIC has been recognized as one of the top 25 large U.S. universities whose students have earned the merit-based Gilman Scholarship to study abroad. SPH student, Jansel Perez, shares how this scholarship supported her global learning.

                Supporting students through life’s unexpected challenges is more than an act of compassion—it’s an investment in the future of public health.

                In a misinformation and disinformation era, the need for engaging, science-backed public health communication has never been more urgent. Kelechi Ibe-Lamberts and a group of students are tackling this challenge one podcast episode at a time.

                From Lake Michigan to the rivers that wind through its neighborhoods, water has always shaped Chicago. UIC SPH researchers are leading the charge to ensure safe,
equitable access to this essential resource while shaping the future of water safety.
