The City of Chicago is made up of 77 Communities. One of the most culturally diverse communities in Chicago or anywhere else in the world, is Albany Park. Since the 1970’s it has been a point of entry for immigrants from Asia, Central and South America, Middle East and other parts of the world. Join us to explore and identify the health related assets and issues that are found in Albany Park. This excursion is limited to the first 25 applicants, and is aimed at first year NU students.
