“AT CONCORDIA, WE’RE VERYINTENTIONAL ABOUT TAKING THECURRICULUM BEYOND THECLASSROOM SO THERE’S ANEXPERIENTIAL COMPONENT. THERE’SALSO A SERVICE LEARNINGCOMPONENT THAT TAKES STUDENTSOUT OF THE CLASSROOM AND INTOTHE COMMUNITY.—Dr. Gary Wenzel, Professor of English

CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY CHICAGORECOGNIZED AS A COLLEGE OF DISTINCTION

What does it mean to attend a College ofDistinction? At Concordia UniversityChicago, it means:

n Pursuing your education at a universitynationally recognized by educators for excellence.

n Learning from CUC faculty who are stronglyfocused on you and your classmates, know youby name and create vibrant classrooms keepingyou challenged and interested.

n Engaging in a wide range of innovative learningexperiences: research, service learning, internshipsand hands-on programs that open up new ideas,new worlds and new opportunities for you.

n Growing as part of an active campus with manyopportunities for personal development.

n Graduating from a university highly valued bygraduate schools and employers for outstandingpreparation, with our long track record ofsuccessful graduates.

The Colleges of Distinction program especiallyrecognizes our faith-based environment that not onlyembraces learning through experience, but alsoactively supports students’ educational, personaland professional growth. When you come to campus,you’ll recognize it, too.

Inspiring learning that

creates opportunity

RIGOROUS ACADEMIC PROGRAMSDenisse benefited from being part of thehonors program and credits CUC facultywith thoroughly preparing her for therigors of medical school—and withhelping to hone her empathy skills. “I wantto make my patients feel the way myprofessors made me feel,” says Denisse.“My professors’ care and attention left alasting impression. They were amazing rolemodels who really cared and listened towhat I had to say and would help me inany way.”

Now a pediatric resident at Loma LindaUniversity Children’s Hospital in California,Denisse’s research focus is inflammatorybowel disease (IBD) in children. Inspiredby the experience of her younger sister,Denisse hopes to enhance understandingof the disease and improve the quality oflife of children suffering from IBD. Denissealso plans to pursue a master’s degree inpublic health focusing on maternal childmedicine, examining how a mother’ssocioeconomic, health and educationalstatus affects her children’s health.

Impacting change

Though service has always been a core part of the student experience at Concordia UniversityChicago, with the appointment of a full-time directorof the program, the scope of service learningimpacting each student’s experience has expanded. “Service learning is tied to the content of the class,

and it helps students realize these issues aren’t justtopics in a textbook that they read and talk about inclass,” says Professor Alannah Ari Hernandez, directorof academic service learning. “Students get to seefirsthand up close. It makes the theoretical aspectsthey are learning in class more concrete.” We match our students’ talents with community

needs to potentially change and improve the lives of others. Here are just two ways CUC students are making an impact:n Some Concordia students work as mentors in after-school mentoring sessions with Youth OutreachServices, serving Chicago’s West Side and west suburban communities. n Members of Concordia’s non-partisan conservationorganization met with local and state politicians and lobbied for the Electronic Products Recycling & Reuse Act, or E-Scrap bill, to set up a government-run recycling program for electronics that containmercury, lead and other environmental toxins.

SERVICE COMMITMENT EARNS CUC NATIONAL RECOGNITION

Concordia University Chicago has beennamed to the President’s Higher

Education Community Service Honor Roll five times.This honor “highlights the role colleges and universitiesplay in solving community problems and placing morestudents on a lifelong path of civic engagement byrecognizing institutions that achieve meaningful,measurable outcomes in the communities they serve.”

Concordia–Chicago is big enough to offer lots of

opportunities, but small enough that you have

genuine access to those opportunities. Our campus

community is just the right size for you to develop

leadership skills and for involvement.

Clubs and organizations include athletics, academics,

service, the environment, politics, religion and more.

Leading or participating in a campus club or

organization is a way students can serve the

community and often have an impact beyond

campus. Students involved in activities expand their

networks of friends, enrich campus life and add

valuable experiences and leadership positions to their

résumés. Student leaders identify opportunities for

their organization, set goals to accomplish their

vision, and both inspire and lead others to join in

achieving those goals.

INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCES THAT BROADEN CAREER CHOICEFor Mike, CUC’s Chicago-arealocation—where students have accessto a variety of internship possibilities—was one of the major benefits ofattending the University. With hopes ofgoing into sports statistical analysis as aprofession, Mike approached the KaneCounty Cougars about a summer jobhis freshman year at CUC. That firstcontact led him to secure internships inthe ticket office and in promotions/media relations—and ultimately led to afull-time job offer during his senior year.Mike worked out a schedule with hisprofessors to finish his degree whilestarting full-time work witih the Cougars.“My professors knew that sports jobsdon’t come along often and that I hadworked hard—so they were awesomeabout working with me so I could doboth.” Since then, Mike has continued togain professional experience throughhis work with other Chicago-areaprofessional sports organizations,including the Chicago Slaughter andthe Schaumburg Boomers.

For Amber, becoming a leader on campus was an unexpected benefit of choosing toattend CUC—an experience which ultimately led her to where she is today, serving asa Peace Corps volunteer in Burkina Faso, West Africa. “My leadership experienceshelped me develop connections and lasting relationships with a wide variety ofpeople on campus,” says Amber. “I have always been reserved and afraid of failing, butCUC gave me opportunities to be social and talk with people. I’ve become more openand confident, and I’m more comfortable talking with people and speaking up, evenin unfamiliar situations.” Among Amber’s most rewarding servant leadershipexperiences at CUC was the opportunity to serve as a role model and mentor for localelementary school students. “I volunteered each year that students from CUC’s partnerelementary school visited campus to promote college readiness. At the end of their visityou leave feeling good. The kids just make you smile and they’re so free-spirited. And allof their enthusiasm makes you want to do more.”
