On Saturday September 25, the women’s varsity soccer team battled the Davenport University Panthers to overtime and recorded their first tie of the season.

In a mere 11 months as the Student Events and Bog Coordinator, Dayss helped develop the Bog from a forgotten space in the Hermann Hall basement into the heart of the campus social scene. Yet Dayss’s next adventure not only takes him beyond the edge of campus and out of Chicago city limits, but across the pond to London where his partner recently accepted a promotion.
On Sunday August 29 at 11:00 p.m., the Night Owl Computer Lab kicked off the fall semester with a new location in the lower level of Galvin Library. In an e-mail to students last week, the Office of Technology Services (OTS) announced the Night Owl Lab’s move. Previously located in the Commons, the overnight lab will continue to offer “overnight access to computers and academic software, as well as scanners, black and white, and color printers.”
The Idea Shop, the latest gem on the Illinois Tech campus, opened its doors with the start of the Fall semester. Tucked away in the lower level of the Technology Business Center, the 13,000 square foot facility will be a place for students to foster ideas from inception to implementation. Naturally the Idea Shop will also house the Interprofessional Projects Program.
