About the event: This workshop about the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is sponsored by IRRPP and IPCE and will be facilitated by the UI System FOIA Administration Office. Join us to learn about what FOIA is and is not, how to respond to FOIA requests, what FOIA requests can cover, and more.

Please note that this workshop is for UI System employees only. You must register with your UI system email address (uic.edu, uis.edu, uillinois.edu, etc.), and log into the Zoom webinar with your UI system email address to attend the workshop.

Workshop facilitators are Andrew Marlan (Associate Director of FOIA Administration, UI System), Jamie Turpin (Senior FOIA Coordinator, UI System), Heather Toth (FOIA Coordinator, UI System), Waleed Khan (FOIA Coordinator, UI System), and Allison Izguerra (FOIA Officer and Communications Specialist, UIC).

About the Series: The goal of the Policy 101 Workshop Series is to increase the impact and visibility of UIC scholars’ research. Policy 101 workshops provide UIC faculty and graduate students with focused training that increases their ability to participate in public policy conversations. Policy 101 workshops are taught by professionals and academics who are experts at translating academic research into policy-ready documents, policy presentations and civic engagement and will be offered bi-annually on a rotating basis.
