Nursing students' requests inspired the CAECE

The Center for Academic Excellence and Cultural Engagement opened in 2022 to be a place where students can study, receive academic support and can take part in transformational programming. The CAECE is located on the fourth floor of UIC Nursing’s Chicago campus building. Current and future programs and services offered at the CAECE include:

  • Academic coaching
  • Meetings with mentors
  • Group and individual study
