Friday
- 9:00 pm - ?: Bar Night at Guido’s Bar & Grill (2 E Main St, Champaign, IL)
After the Department reception at the Alumni Center, the PGSA
invites you to join us at Guido’s Bar & Grill in Champaign.
Department-funded taxis can shuttle to the bar instead of back to the
hotel. Another option is to take the 12/120W Teal bus from Krannert
to the Illinois Terminal (Amtrak Station) before walking north to
Guido’s. (The Teal line is free when starting on-campus and $1
otherwise.)
- 9:00 pm - ?: Board Game Night at 403 W Illinois St, Urbana, IL
If the bar scene isn’t your thing, or if you just love board
games, the PGSA will also be hosting a board game night after the
Department reception. A great way to hang out with current grad
students.
Saturday
- 11:30 am - 12:30 pm: Walking Tour of Campus by PGSA members, starting south of the Illini Union
Join Sam, Alexandra, Sean, and Eli for a walking tour of campus.
This is a great chance to see the other parts of campus and hear some
general trivia about the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The tour will start at the south entrance to the Illini Union.
- 12:45 pm - ~3:00 pm: Meet and Greet Current Grad Students, meeting at Illini Union Lobby
Take a moment to get to know what the Champaign-Urbana graduate
experience is like from the grad students themselves -- no professors
allowed. Hang out in small groups of 4-6 and talk about what life in
Champaign-Urbana is really like. Meet in the North Lobby (the one with fish
tanks).
- 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm: BBQ at 702 W Nevada St, Urbana, IL
This is a great chance to decompress and ask any last questions you have
about life at UIUC. Food and drink will be provided courtesy of the PGSA.
