[GRAD] Show Me Chicago: Pilsen
SUN., MAY 25, 2025
Ready to add some color to your weekend? Join us as we explore the vibrant streets of Pilsen, home to some of Chicago’s most iconic murals and the incredible National Museum of Mexican Art. We’ll meet in front of I-House, hop on public transit together, and spend the afternoon wandering through art-filled alleys, soaking up culture, and probably saying “wow” a lot. Bring your curiosity, comfy shoes, and camera roll space—you’re going to want pictures
[GRAD] Disc Golf
FRI., MAY 23, 2025
Ever wanted to throw things in public and call it a sport? Now’s your chance. Join your fellow grad students for an afternoon of disc golf—where frisbees meet finesse (or at least enthusiasm). We’ll head out together from I-House at 2:00 PM and take on the course with absolutely no pressure, questionable aim, and maximum laughs. Highly recommended by previous attendees who laughed, launched, and only lost a few discs. Discs provided. Accuracy optional. Trash talk encouraged.
[GRAD] Study Club
WED., MAY 21, 2025
Come romanticize your academic grind with us. We’re turning I-House into the ultimate study zone—vibes, snacks, low-key productivity, and other grad students pretending to have their lives together (just like you). Whether you’re deep in your dissertation or just trying to read a single paragraph without checking your phone, you’re welcome here.
