Fall 2026 Disability Cultural Center Open House

We’re hosting an open house and we’d love to connect with you! Come meet our staff, learn what we’re up to this semester and how to get involved, and enjoy some food!

During the first portion, we’ll be mingling with some food and drinks on the second-floor outdoor patio of the Behavioral Sciences Building. You’re also welcome to venture inside and check out our lounge spaces! (We’ll have gluten-free, vegan, and gluten-free and vegan options.)

The second half of the open house will be hybrid, and we’ll hear from our collaborators and share some highlights for the coming semester, including ways you can get involved with our work.

• 12-1 p.m. (in person): Mingling and self-guided tours
• 1-2 p.m. (in person and on Zoom): Welcome, announcements and ways to get involved

COVID-19 safety: UIC does not require masking, but we are still masking indoors as an accessibility measure for chronically ill/immunocompromised folks and those living interdependently with them. Please wear a mask in our spaces! We’ll have extras on hand. Zoom is another COVID-19-cautious option.

Access info: Our center is on the second floor and physically accessible via elevator. The patio can be accessed via lift and has ramps connecting its various levels. We’ll have ASL interpreters available. For the hybrid portion, we will have CART captions projected into the space with the Zoom. Please get in touch with any access requests or questions at dcc@uic.edu or 312-355-7050!
