"I attended 'the Pier' from 1959 to 1961, and then transferred to UIUC. Current UIC students need to know the history of their institution, including the founding of the Chicago campus of the U of I on Navy Pier. I'd put in old photographs, old catalogs and testimonies of people like me who owe so much to the Pier for providing the educational foundation for subsequent studies and careers."

"My student era was 1982 through 1986. Probably two photos. One photo of the UIC Pavilion because with its opening, so many changes were happening at UICC, we had Division I Athletics, the merger of East and West campus' and the new UIC logo dropping Circle from it's name. I would also include a photo of the old registration process and the lines of students wrapping around PEB and inside, up and down the stairs."

"I would probably put a few things into the time capsule, one being an outdated Computer Science book."

"I remember my flip phone quite clearly and this generation might think that's funny. Another thing might be a train ticket. The tokens were a little before my time but that would be another good one."

"A 'mix' CD. LOL. We made our own CDs with various artists that we liked at the time. A Motorola RZR phone and a Palm Treo palm pilot phone. A screenshot of what Facebook used to look like when it first started."

"Food pictures. My era is all about taking pictures of all the Instagram worthy and delicious food that we try wherever we go. Food is everything to college students, especially if it is free! Aside from some delicious unhealthy foods, many students are also health conscious about what goes into their bodies and getting our nutrients."
