What: Under Dr. James J. Stukel’s leadership, UIC created a Great Cities initiative to embrace its commitment as an “engaged” university. As part of GCI’s 21st anniversary celebration, the GCI James J. Stukel Fellows Program was established as a prestigious award for graduate students.
The mission of the UIC Great Cities Institute is to link its academic resources with a range of partners to address urban issues by providing research, policy analysis and program development. Tied to UIC’s Great Cities Commitment, GCI seeks to improve quality of life in Chicago, its metropolitan region, and cities throughout the world.
Students that are selected to participate in the James J. Stukel Fellow Program will have the unique opportunity to interface directly with the GCI team and receive support for their research and planning pursuits.
Opportunities include participation in:
- Training workshops
- Select seminars
- Client based research and planning projects
- Professional networking activities
- Community building activities among program fellows
Fellows receive a $300 Assistance Grant towards the purchase of books.
To apply, submit your resume and a one-page letter of interest describing past experience, future professional goals, and reasons for your interest in the Fellows Program to: gcities@uic.edu by November 9, 2018.
