About Us

The iSchool at Illinois Students of Color Group is currently on hiatus. We aim to continue to foster a community of inclusion within the School of Information Sciences at Illinois. While we are not currently holding meetings, we will update our calendar with scholarship and professional development opportunities for students of color.

Thank you for your support and we hope to revive our group soon!
