I would have American scholars… declare their independence of do-nothing traditions…repeal the law of custom which bars marriage of thought with action.

Engage Chicago
Use your knowledge, skills, and energy in partnership with community and cultural organizations, schools, and natural areas throughout the city:
5 Things you should do before leaving the University of Chicago:
- Volunteer with an organization within walking distance of campus
- Connect your education to where you live – take a class that focuses on Chicago
- Intern for a summer with a Chicago nonprofit organization or government office.
- Eat food you’ve never had before in one of Chicago’s 77 neighborhoods.
- Take CTA somewhere other than downtown, to Lakeview, or the airport.
