The Urban Health Early Outreach Program

The Urban Health Early Outreach Program (EOP) was created in 1981 as the pre-college pipeline program to the University of Illinois at Chicago Urban Health Program. The EOP was among the first on the UIC campus to recognize the opportunity for skills building in reading, math, and science and the specific application of these content areas to health sciences preparation and social determinants of health.

The mission of the EOP is to recruit and attract the next generation of leaders in health, health sciences education/research, and literacy activism. The EOP partners with UIC College of Education literacy initiatives and Urban Health Programs in the Colleges of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Applied Health Sciences and the UI Cancer Center.

Program Goals

To help program participants succeed academically and socially in any grade level

To provide academic and technological resources and services to the global community through academic enrichment

To promote responsible academic inquiry, digital citizenship, critical thinking, and the expression of diversity

To serve families and students by fostering an appreciation of literacy development, literacy activism, and lifelong learning

Saturday Enrichment Program (SEP) is an academic year program for students. The program operates from October to April. This culturally inclusive program in its 38th year of existence provides academic skills building in English, reading, math, and science. SEP incorporates Cambridge Educational Services materials to help track progress and create continuity across content areas. Research shows that standardized testing can serve as motivation for students.

Health Sciences and STEAM focus (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math)
The EOP attracts families seeking exclusive and unique opportunities designed to provide students with a foundation for future success in higher education and next generation careers.
