Description

The University of Illinois used to be founded in 1867 and expanded into Chicago in the 1890s. Through time, demands for the growth of the urban campus were answered. Under the leadership of Mayor Richard J.

Daley, the Circle Campus used to be created and situated in 1965 at the Near West Side of Chicago in the historic Hull-House neighborhood. In 1982, Circle Campus joined with the Medical Center to form the University of Illinois at Chicago. With outreach programs coordinated in the Great Cities Initiative, the University recognized its urban location as a major strength. Over the past decade, UIC has helped to develop a new model of higher education: the comprehensive urban research university. This volume accommodates almost two hundred historic photographs that

serve as a wealthy record of the Chicago campus of the University of Illinois. As of late, with 15 colleges situated in a prominent urban setting, the campus is the largest and most diverse in the Chicago area, serving students from all over the world. The University of Illinois at Chicago has grown to about 25,000 students, with 12,000 faculty and body of workers, and is likely one of the hundred largest research universities in the nation. It offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in more than 230 disciplines.
