WELCOME

Welcome to the Urban Culture course at Avila University created by Susan Lawlor and Dotty Hamilton.  We travel with our students to great cities to explore art museums, engage with the architecture, study the local film and music venues, and experience the ethnic enclaves as a way to learn about the culture of urban spaces and the interaction of art and environment.  It's a fun, intense learning environment.

Arrived

Susan and I are back in Chicago with 18 students.  Arrived by train.  Took a bus to the hotel.  Everyone unpacked and explored a bit before heading off to Gene Siskel Film Center to see a French animation - Mia and the Migoo.

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.
