The Honors College announces an exciting new partnership with the UIC College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs and the Chicago-based business, Civic Consulting Alliance (CCA). CCA is a pro-bono consulting service that creates public-private partnerships throughout Chicago to address issues including economics, workforce development, healthcare, environment, and education.
Honors College Faculty Fellows from CUPPA are willing to supervise students from all majors in research on questions encountered in CCA’s day-to-day work. Topics will vary and range greatly depending on student and faculty interest, but could include questions relating to the Chicago job market and where low-wage workers are employed. Juniors and seniors may have the opportunity to use this research experience as the basis for their Honors College Capstone.
Interested students should email Stephanie O’Leary at soleary@uic.edu by March 17 with responses to the following: Name, major, year in school, possible career and/or research interests, and a description of why you are interested in this opportunity.
