Campus Resources
The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is committed to providing the resources, cultural centers, and support systems to ensure student success in the classroom and out.
Mental Health and Wellness
Our campus created a centralized site to connect students, parents/families, faculty, and staff with services for mental health, wellness, access and accommodation. We strive to provide supportive, judgment-free and collaborative solutions specific to individuals and groups.
Professional Headshots
There are several options for students to have professional headshots taken at no cost:
The College of Liberal Arts & Sciences and the School of Chemical Sciences typically hold (separate) headshot sessions for students, faculty and staff at or near the beginning of Fall semester.
The campus Career Center is home to the Professional Portrait Lab, where students can stop by to have their photo taken. Visit union.illinois.edu/portrait-lab for details, including hours of service and tips on getting the best photo.
