Welcome back!  As a new school year begins here in Chicago, we look forward to taking you out into the city AND deeper into its history with a series of urban hikes, including a series of first-year hikes (part of O-Week), an expansion of our "Out in Chicago" LGBTQ+ history tour, and our terrifying night-time "Spooky Chicago" walk.  Prefer to see the city on wheels?  Grab your bike and join us for our "bucket list" urban bike tour with former College Dean John Boyer.  Want to experience the city at a photographic distance?  Join astrophysicist and photographer Judit Prat Martí for a photo hike through Pullman, just as the colors are at their peak - part of a short series of events connected with Chicago in Color, her new book of Chicago photographs.  (Don't forget to take your own photos:  coming soon, a Chicago in Color-themed photo contest!)
