In a city like Chicago, there’s always a plethora of newsworthy events to report on, not to mention countless experts to interview.

Medill Chicago’s location is convenient for IMC Professional students who work downtown during the day and stay downtown for classes in the evening. It is also an ideal hub as they connect with Chicago’s marketing communications industry professionals, many of whom are Medill IMC alumni.
