Faculty/Staff Vehicle Pool

The Office of the Provost is pleased to offer a Chevrolet Uplander for the purpose of transporting students to museums, conferences, presentations, performances and other events and experiences that complement classroom teaching. The acquisition of a vehicle addresses an initiative of Lewis University’s strategic plan, Vision 2006: Learning, Mission and Leadership, which calls for the provision of transportation to assist faculty integrate field experiences into course work that takes advantage of Chicago’s unique resources to enhance student learning.

The Chevrolet Uplander is a roomy passenger van that can seat seven individuals comfortably (including the driver). It is air-conditioned and has all the amenities one would expect in a modestly equipped family mini-van. The Uplander is part of the Lewis University Enterprise fleet and is regularly serviced by University contractors.

The driver of the vehicle who must be an employee of the University (not a student), is covered by University insurance policies. Specific University guidelines for operating the vehicle and for the transportation of students must be adhered to. Gasoline is complimentary. Additional forms and information about reserving the vehicles can be found on this page.
The vehicle can be reserved by calling The Provost’s Office at extension 5639.
