Honors student offered perspective at “Chicago Roadmap 2.0.” launch
Introduction
Via UIC Today article:
Chicago Public Schools, City Colleges of Chicago and the University of Illinois Chicago are expanding the nationally recognized higher education partnership with the launch of “Chicago Roadmap 2.0.”
Liam John Smith, a senior English major and Honors College member at UIC, offered a student perspective during the launch event. While attending Wilbur Wright College, he was part of the Chicago Roadmap’s first phase and attended UIC-hosted events before transferring, which he said made the university “feel like family.”
“It’s been a really good process. It’s really transformative and can help any student from high school to CCC, then UIC,” Smith said.
The latest agreement joins other transfer pathway programs at UIC, such as the Transfer Admission Guarantee program, which allows students with an overall GPA of 3.0 who are currently enrolled at any of the seven City Colleges of Chicago a guaranteed spot in a baccalaureate degree program at UIC.
