Project Objectives

Academic Affairs and Student Affairs are partnering together to develop online tools to enhance and streamline students’ access to searchable resources at UIC.  Particular attention is given to resources available for tutoring, peer mentoring, and scholarships.  The project tasks are:

• Creating an online information resource, the Flames Tutoring Network, for the tutoring services provided on campus using the Flames Career Network as a model;
• Creating other networks related to peer mentoring, advising, and other prioritized resource topics as identified;
• Identifying appropriate keywording for the UIC available resources;
• Identifying the appropriate implementation for use of the keywords;
• Making recommendations for further action and improved access;
