The Chaddick Institute encourages students at Chicago-area universities to participate in its workshops and events. At any given point throughout the academic year, 20 or 30 students are generally involved in our programs, research activities, and bi-annual study trips to other Midwestern cities. Students involved in our programs have gone on to work at such organizations as the American Planning Association, Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, City of Chicago, Civic Federation, and Congress for the New Urbanism.
The first step to getting involved is attending our events, which are generally free to students, and in some cases, to alumni. Your participation in these events allows us to gain an understanding of your availability, interests and skills. Please email chaddick@depaul.edu to be added to our email list. We make new opportunities available first to those who have been part of our programs and research endeavors.
We hope you will consider taking part in our activities and programs!
Phyllis M. Sutker Scholarship
We recognize annually one or two students who have made significant contributions to the programs of the Chaddick Institute by awarding them our Phyllis M. Sutker Scholarship. Mrs. Sutker, who died in 2002, was a pioneer in the world of Chicago trucking and real estate. She was a longtime member of our advisory board and was widely respected by transportation officials throughout the city. This $3,000 scholarship is available to students enrolled in the DePaul University School of Public Service graduate program.
