PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: OAD Winter Advisor Week – RSVP for Ice Skating/Christkindlemarket and for painting with Creativita!
RSVP's are out for our networking and creative events for Winter Advisor Week - we need you to RSVP so we can get tickets arranged for ice skating and painting supplies delivered for Creativita!
We're still planning to have three to four events spread over two weeks actually, and we want you to be sure to mark your calendars - Study Abroad will be joining us for a Zoom presentation, so don't miss it! We also will be featuring our UIC Advisor Expert Series for which more information will be forthcoming soon!
Join us for these events, please RSVP for us to begin making arrangements:
• It's Our Wonderland: Ice Skating and Holiday Enjoyment Networking Event (December 14th)
4:30 - when we're done o'clock!
We will start our evening together at Millennium Park for ice skating and then go over to the Christkindlmarket in Daley Plaza...for those who may only want to do the Christkindlmarket, don't you worry, you can get extra time over there or watch us skate! Ice skaters, we need you to let us know you're interested and want to join us as soon as you can - due to COVID precautions, there are reservations that will need to be made, and if you need skate rental, we need to make sure to reserve the skates for you as well!
Please RSVP at It's Our Wonderland RSVP ASAP, but at latest by Monday, December 6th!
• Return to Winter Wonderland Painting with Creativita (December 20th)
4:00 pm - when we're done o'clock!
Advisors will have an opportunity to paint live on Zoom with our friends at Creativita. We did it last year and we're bringing it back for another round...this is a chance to make a gift for someone special! Again, for proper planning purposes (including mailing supplies for anyone who lives far out from campus or will not be in delivery zones), we need you to RSVP so we can make arrangements for painting supplies. Your OAD Steering Committee members have been working on selecting our painting - we're thinking something Chicago-themed and wintery....have you seen our painters from last year's Cloud Gate paintings? They're wonderful!
Please RSVP for Return to Winter Wonderland Painting by Thursday, December 9th! We would appreciate an RSVP sooner than that, but we know that it make take some time to make plans...
