Join the UIUC Association of Academic Professionals on May 1 to celebrate May Day, also known as International Worker’s Day! We will be screening the film PRIDE (2014) at 6:30 pm at the Champaign Public Library, Robeson Pavilion Room C.
In this film, an unlikely friendship is forged between a small community of striking miners in Wales and a team of London-based gay-and-lesbian activists who help fight for their cause.
This event is free and open to all UIUC AAP and Illinois Education Association members.

Visiting Academic Professionals at UIUC are protected by a contract that expires on August 15, 2022. A bargaining team will be representing VAPs to secure a renewed, even better contract. Please fill out the following survey so the bargaining team can best represent everyone’s interests: https://go.illinois.edu/VAPsurvey
And remember, only members will get to vote on the contract. If you aren’t a member, sign up today! (When it asks you for classification, please choose Higher Education — Education Support Professional, and for membership type choose Higher Ed- ESP Quarter Time. This does not correspond to your work status as full-time of not, it relates solely to our dues level)
