Welcome to the 2018-2019 academic year! We begin the year with great energy fresh from a summer hosting the 14th Annual International Student Science Fair (ISSF 2018), Alumni Weekend, and youth camps on our campus in Aurora, as well as across Illinois in Belleville, Chicago, Springfield and South Holland. Our hosting of ISSF 2018 was the jewel in our crown this year, it being the first time the annual international event was held in the US. ISSF 2018 was a great success for all involved
