EOH and Unveiling Update

An update on Engineering Open House

On March 11th, the University of Illinois sent out an update to students with an official set of policies regarding COVID-19 and affected university operations. The email detailed the following information:

- Events with more than 50 attendees that are university-sponsored or hosted by registered student organizations will be suspended indefinitely, effective Friday, March 13.
- Events may occur via livestream or other telecommunications, or be postponed to a future date.

As a consequence, the Grainger College of Engineering and Engineering Council have decided to cancel Engineering Open House, instead electing to host select presentations and demonstrations online via recorded video.

The team is deeply saddened by this turn of events, though we understand that this decision was made with the public interest in mind.

Unfortunately, this means that the unveiling of our new car is also cancelled. However, our team is working diligently to plan, prepare, and create a video unveiling to be made available to the general public both on our YouTube channel and on this website.

Keep an eye on our social media and on illinisolarcar.com/blog for updates regarding our unveiling, our new car, and information about the team.
