Past Events

This event was to celebrate International LGBTQIA+ in STEM Day, and was our first event since oSTEM at UIC's revival!

We typically have a vision board event at least once a school year, and it is a good time for us to collectively come up with goals.

At this event, we watched the iconic film, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.

This event celebrated our first academic year back as oSTEM at UIC. We had board games, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and catering!

This event was one of our first events of the 2025 - 2026 school year. In honor of International Pronouns Day, folks made their own oSTEM at UIC pronoun pins.

This event focused on transitioning from college to the workplace and was done in partnership with Zebra Technologies. 

This panel centered on the lived experiences and expertise of trans and gender-nonconforming folks in STEM. 

We were happy to host Dr. Sabina Spigner (She/They)(@thecurlymed) this past March! They joined us to talk about her journey into medicine.

At this event, we made cards for Point of Pride, a nonprofit that provides mutual aid, such as care packages, surgical funds, and gender-affirming items, to trans folks across the country!

At this event, we discussed the importance of Denim Day and the prevalence of gender-based violence in STEM fields. We also discussed how we could work towards a safer future and collected hygiene supplies for local survivors.
