THE 2009 CHICAGO COLLEGE TOUR!

Over MEA weekend last October, Project SUCCESS took 88 students from North, South, Southwest and Washburn High Schools to Chicago to check out the outstanding colleges and universities in the area. This was our biggest Chicago College tour in Project SUCCESS history and it was a huge success!  Students were able to visit schools such as the University of Chicago, Columbia College, DePaul University, Loyola University, Northwestern University, the University of Illinois in Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Robert Morris College, Kendall College and the Illinois Institute of Art. We were also able to enjoy side-splitting comedy at Chicago's most famous comedy club, The Second City, and check out the awesome sights at Millennium Park.  

The applications poured in for this extremely popular trip.  The response was so huge that we are planning another Chicago College tour over Spring Break 2010 in addition to our annual trip in October.  Applications for the Spring Break trip will be available in January.  Applications for the October trips are always available when school starts in September each year.
