00:00:00.385 --> 00:00:03.045
The city-as-a-campus program at Dominican University's

2
00:00:03.045 --> 00:00:05.165
Chicago Campus is an innovative program

3
00:00:05.375 --> 00:00:08.165
where we provide real-world immersive experiences

4
00:00:08.235 --> 00:00:09.525
with employers in Chicago.

5
00:00:10.145 --> 00:00:12.725
We imagine the city of Chicago as your campus.

6
00:00:12.915 --> 00:00:15.445
Your freshman year is what we like to call explore

7
00:00:15.445 --> 00:00:17.365
and engage. Throughout this year

8
00:00:17.505 --> 00:00:22.085
we take you to various employers for tours, site visits,

9
00:00:22.945 --> 00:00:25.445
panels and sometimes some hands-on activities.

10
00:00:25.915 --> 00:00:28.885
Your sophomore year, we like to call, prepare and launch.

11
00:00:29.275 --> 00:00:31.405
This is actually where we take some of the things

12
00:00:31.405 --> 00:00:33.045
that you learned in the first year

13
00:00:33.305 --> 00:00:36.405
and apply it towards your professional portfolio so

14
00:00:36.405 --> 00:00:38.605
that you have something to show employers when

15
00:00:38.605 --> 00:00:39.725
you have your first interviews.

16
00:00:40.585 --> 00:00:43.885
We partner with really amazing organizations across the city

17
00:00:43.885 --> 00:00:45.885
of Chicago and the Chicagoland area.

18
00:00:46.465 --> 00:00:49.165
For example, a colleague from Microsoft came

19
00:00:49.185 --> 00:00:50.685
and talked to students about how

20
00:00:50.685 --> 00:00:54.725
to utilize Microsoft Copilot to up your brand on LinkedIn.

21
00:00:55.265 --> 00:00:57.205
We took students to the Morton Arboretum

22
00:00:57.205 --> 00:01:00.445
where they were able to walk through the awesome nature paths

23
00:01:00.445 --> 00:01:02.125
that the arboretum has to offer.

24
00:01:02.545 --> 00:01:04.765
And students who went to Lawndale Christian Health Center

25
00:01:04.795 --> 00:01:05.885
were able to sit down

26
00:01:05.945 --> 00:01:08.445
and listen to a panel of healthcare professionals

27
00:01:08.705 --> 00:01:09.885
and learn about all the ways

28
00:01:09.885 --> 00:01:11.445
that they can work in the medical system.

29
00:01:11.865 --> 00:01:13.565
We want the students to be exposed

30
00:01:13.705 --> 00:01:16.805
to the various professions in their fields.

31
00:01:17.145 --> 00:01:19.685
We want them to be able to network with the employees of

32
00:01:19.685 --> 00:01:21.645
that organization, and we want them

33
00:01:21.665 --> 00:01:23.845
to learn about the different internships

34
00:01:23.845 --> 00:01:25.525
or other opportunities there may be

35
00:01:25.585 --> 00:01:26.965
to work with that organization.

36
00:01:27.545 --> 00:01:29.045
Within the city-as-a-campus program,

37
00:01:29.525 --> 00:01:33.605
students also attend career workshops, visit job fairs,

38
00:01:33.875 --> 00:01:35.725
work on their resumes and cover letters,

39
00:01:35.985 --> 00:01:38.405
and are encouraged to go to various networking events.

40
00:01:39.225 --> 00:01:42.405
