From Risk to Resilience: Strengthening Continuity Across UIC
UIC is advancing campus resilience with a new Business Continuity & Resilience (BC&R) planning effort. All Colleges and major administrative units across the university are using the Riskonnect platform to identify critical operations, reduce risk, and prepare for disruptions.
2025 Violence Prevention Plan and Emergency Operations Plan
The UIC Violence Prevention Plan and Emergency Operations Plan underscore UIC’s commitment to maintaining a safe and resilient campus. These plans outline strategies for preventing violence, managing threats, and responding to emergencies, ensuring the university is prepared for a variety of situations to protect students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
Student Spotlight: Streamlining Campus Safety Compliance
This spring, students from UIC’s Information and Decision Sciences (IDS) Consulting Practicum teamed up with the Office of Preparedness and Response to tackle a high-impact project improving campus safety. Their mission? Modernize and automate how UIC tracks Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) — mandatory crime reporters who play a key role in ensuring compliance with the federal Clery Act.
