It is "Engage"after seeking, which represents the care to UIC community with citizen responsibility. When engaging in the community, also "Express" in it. "Express" means the ability of independent thinking and the atmosphere of free discussion, when taking in different voices. "Diversity", as the core and context of the former three parts, signifies the integration of knowledge and inspiration of interdisciplines.
