UIC prepares for annual SPARK music festival with safety reminders

Tomorrow night marks the highly anticipated UIC community event, SPARK, hosted by the UIC Center for Student Involvement. SPARK is an annual back-to-school music festival for the UIC community. Details and RSVP options are available on the SPARK webpage.

The Office of the Dean of Students advises members of the UIC Flames community to review the UIC Standards of Conduct outlined in the Student Disciplinary Policy before attending. Attendees are reminded that they are responsible for their behavior and its impact.

The event promises a significant opportunity to celebrate the semester with an impressive lineup, fostering a sense of unity within the diverse community. The event aims to welcome students back to campus through music.

UIC maintains a smoke/tobacco-free and other substances-free campus policy. Outside food, beverages (including alcohol), and water bottles/containers are prohibited at the event. The organizers assure attendees that it will be an unforgettable evening.

Attendees are encouraged to report any concerning or threatening behavior to the UIC Police Department or on-site security team, who will be present at major entrances and patrolling the grounds. If someone appears under the influence of alcohol or drugs, immediate assistance is available from UIC Police, security team, and event staff. Incident reports can also be submitted at the Command Tent near the main entrance or via an Incident Reporting Form.

Entry to SPARK is free but requires an RSVP on UIC Connection; attendees must scan their i-card at entry. Any misrepresentation will result in further action by the Office of the Dean of Students.

The university extends gratitude to UIC students, Center for Student Involvement, and UIC Police Department for ensuring a successful and safe event. Attendees are encouraged to share their experiences using #UICSPARK.
