Hello everyone!
I’m excited to announce that the Graduate Student Nurses Organization (GSNO) and the Thai Student Association (ThaiSA) are hosting a “Thai New Year Celebration.” It will be held on April 14, 2023 from 12:30-1:30pm at the CON 3rd Floor Event Center. The Thai New Year Celebration, also called the Songkran, has been a long-time annual tradition at UIC, and we’re so glad to bring it back! The Songkran is also known as the water splashing festival to wash away the previous year and welcome the new one. Our event will include dance performances, a water ceremony, and Thai food/drinks! All CON students and CON/CON-related faculty/staff are invited! In terms of attire, national/cultural clothing is highly recommended but smart casual is definitely welcome.
To ensure we have an appropriate amount of food and tables/chairs, RSVPs are required to attend the event. The RSVP form deadline is Thursday, March 30th 11:59pm.

In addition, the Graduate Student Nurses Organization (GSNO) will be presenting two awards during the event: the “2023 Faculty Excellence Award” and the “2023 Staff Excellence Award.” Any CON or CON-related faculty/staff member is eligible for this award, regardless of campus location. Nominees should demonstrate significant care and effort in fostering a positive learning environment for UIC College of Nursing students. Students, please fill out this nomination form for a faculty/staff member that you believe fits this description. The nomination deadline is Monday, March 20th 11:59pm.
