Traditions are an important part of college life.
They give the university its character, make it more fun, and help create a sense of unity between past, present, and future students. There are very few student organizations with such an ambitious set of programs and events. SAL's motto is Establishing New Traditions . Another SAL goal is to promote the development of beneficial relationships among and between UIC students, alumni, faculty, staff, surrounding neighborhood and Chicago business community. While developing these skills, SAL members receive hands on training and valuable practical experience in management, accounting, communications, and organizational behavior.
