    Our Mission

    The Mission of the Chicago Scholars Class


    Officers is to identify the needs of our fellow
    peers, provide extraordinary value to our
    college education and secure our commitment
    to the Chicago Scholars community both as
    students and alumni.
    How were last year’s
    recommendations addressed?
    Recommendation #1:
    Encourage and facilitate a
    community among the Chicago
    Scholars students.

    Garfield Park Conservatory
    Recommendation #2:
    Expand Career Support Programming
    • Alex Gagnon became the Career Programming
    Associate.
    – He built and expanded upon the Career Exploration
    series, with several new participants this past
    summer.
    – Plans to get our peers access to 50 internships in a
    wide variety of fields this coming summer.
    • YPC is now offering free 1-year memberships to
    CS alumni.
    Recommendation #3: Showcase our
    students, connect more to our college-going
    scholars.

    were launched.
    • A Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube page was
    created.

    from last year’s survey.
    • Wanted more direct
    and constructive
    qualitative feedback.

    pressing concerns were addressed and were more confident in
    their future.

    88% of all respondents wanted to be contacted by us at least


    twice a month from us, most preferring email and phone.
    Comments Feedback Summary
    • Our peers want some way to actively
    contribute to the website. (i.e. blogs, polls or
    discussion boards)
    • Our peers want a searchable directory to find
    one another and alumni whether they are on
    the same campus, city or geographical region.
    Comments Feedback (p. 2)
    • Our peers would like even more opportunities
    to come together in a more informal setting
    during breaks home from school.
    • A wider variety of internship opportunities are
    still a great need among many of our peers
    interested in fields such as education,
    journalism, health, and the non-profit sector.
    Recommendations from the
    2010 Class Officers
    Recommendation #1: Develop an
    interactive component for the
    website.
    • A Chicago Scholars blog was launched last
    October.
    • Blog will feature a new section “ScholarSpeak”
    for students to share with the wider CS
    community or comment on their peers’ posts.
    Recommendation #2: Create a
    student and alumni directory.
    • The directory and alumni network will be
    essential to the Chicago Scholars mission
    • Will only increase in its value as more alumni
    reconnect with us and more students are
    admitted into our program.
    Recommendation #3: Create more
    opportunities for gatherings
    • In the process of planning this year’s holiday
    party and next summer’s social events.
    • An idea currently on the table is a “Welcome
    Home” event shortly after students return for
    the summer and a send off party when they
    return to school.
    Thank You All for Listening!
