Join us for Chicago Connect & Chill! This is a welcoming and informal gathering space designed to bring Chicago graduate and professional students together and to build community. Chicago Connect & Chill is hosted by Chicago CAPS staff to help facilitate meaningful conversations – whether you’re looking for encouragement, a sense of belonging, or simply a friendly place to unwind and connect. Each meeting will focus on a different topic and/or reflection prompt(s) to get the conversation started and then flow freely based on the group’s needs. We look forward to sharing space, enjoying snacks, and connecting.
