The Student Wisdom Project believes in the power of your experience
We invite you to meet the alumni of the City Colleges of Chicago, hear their stories, and explore their advice through the interactive links below. You may listen to each student’s full interview or pick and choose advice about a particular struggle or service they experienced while being a student at the City Colleges of Chicago by clicking on the blue links below. You are not alone.
The Central Goals of the Student Wisdom Project
1. To learn from alumni’s experience in order to better support students
2. To create a mechanism for passing wisdom from alumni to entering and current students
3. To empower students and alumni to participate in institutional and national decision making in higher education
