iFoundry students will meet at 9:00am in Room B02 of Coordinated Science Lab (also referred to as CSL: 1308 West Main, Urbana) on August 22nd.   At noon on Saturday, they will be transported to the 4H Memorial camp and will return to campus on Sunday in time for Quad Day.  Students are encouraged to bring:  bug spray, tennis shoes, sleeping bag (or bedding),  a change of clothes and a YouTube ready camera.

The iFoundry overnight launch will give iFoundry students an opportunity to meet their peers as well as inform them about the iFoundry activities for the upcoming year. There is NO cost for this event.  Students who have not yet registered for the overnight, should call the iFoundry office at (217)244-3821.

The incoming cohort of 93 freshmen in iFoundry form a community called iCommunity. The iCommunity is divided into four iTeams: Art & Engineering Design (AED), Services & Systems Engineering (SSE), Entrepreneurship & Innovation (EI), and Engineering in Service to Society (ESS).  Each team has at least one iTeam faculty advisor (iFA), two iTeam student advisors (iSAs), and at least one iTeam corporate/organizational advisor (iCOA).  For more information, download and read the iCommunity handbook here.  At yesterday’s iLaunch, the iFAs introduced the available iTeams prior to the student selection process.

The presentation “Art – Science – WTH” was given by AED iFA David Weightman and is available here or in the viewer below:
