Preparing for Chicago in May!

Another spring trip - this time with 21 Avila students.  I will miss my old teaching partner, Susan Lawlor, who is on sabbatical - creating, refreshing and reinventing. But I have a new partner, Professor Marci Aylward, for this trip (fresh meat? maybe Susan gave Marci a heads-up on what to expect from living with me for five days)  Well - Marci and I have hotel and train reservations set up - now we'll be meeting to map out great things to do and learn in Chicago surrounding the course themes of urban living through art, architecture, film, music and theatre.  Look forward to another great learning experience with a new group of students.

What a skyline!

First Urban Culture to Chicago

A look back at the students on last year's trip - train traveling, Chess Records, the Chicago Cultural Center's Tiffany Dome, and Millennium Park.  Looks like fun?  Professors Lawlor and Hamilton are getting ready to take another eager group.
