Luke Tervola In my experience in the Chicago Urban Studies program, the educational opportunity presented to me through experiences was truly transformative. For me, the gathering of passionate students around related issues translates into a depth of conversation an experiential sharing that leapfrogs the traditional educational experiences, and forces the learning process to continue outside of the classroom. The aspect of continuing conversations about relevant issues has lacked in my university experience, even though that experience is equally invaluable. The ACM Urban Studies Program fits best for a student who is willing to burst out of the bubble of traditional education into the realm of real experiences, real people, and real communities.

—Luke Tervola, Chicago Urban Studies, Spring 2009
