Co-Sponsorship Request Form

UIC Institute for the Humanities Co-Sponsorship Request

The Institute for the Humanities (IFTH) is happy to provide co-sponsorship for UIC humanities programs, including space and modest funds, as part of our mission to provide a forum for intellectual exchange among faculty, staff, and students at UIC and other colleges and universities in the region.  We are committed to the central role humanities scholarship plays in shaping cultures, fostering connections, and solving pressing social issues.

In order to provide as many opportunities for exchange as possible with our limited resources, we kindly ask that anyone requesting a co-sponsorship please review the following information before submitting your request to use the Institute space and/or funds.

We review co-sponsorship requests every two weeks, excluding University holidays, on the 1st and 3rd Monday of the month.

Who can use the Institute space and resources:

  • UIC faculty, staff, and students (with a faculty sponsor) may request to use the Institute space. The Institute for the Humanities space can hold approximately 50 guests.
  • The Institute for the Humanities is available Monday-Friday, excluding University Holidays.
  • Staffing may not be available for events, including technical assistance.

What does the Institute co-sponsor?

  • We are happy to co-sponsor events even if we are unable to host them in our space. Please refer to (and fill out) our co-sponsorship form if you would like us to do so.
  • Our funds and resources for co-sponsorships are limited. To fairly distribute our resources, we invite modest co-sponsorship requests. For larger events, such as full conference support, please contact the Institute director, Ellen McClure, at least 6 months before the program date.
  • We are only able to advertise events that we co-sponsor.

What else should I know?

  • The space is not guaranteed until we send you a confirmation and you return your signed Institute Space Policy.
  • Please review our calendar to see if your requested date(s) is available. We may only be able to accommodate one event per day.
