Supporting your Medill experience

We are your primary resource for information on registration and degree progress as well as Medill and NU opportunities and services.

We work with you to make sure the classes you take and the activities you participate in prepare you for the career you want to pursue. Our team is available throughout the year to talk with you as you move through the IMC program. And we’re there to celebrate your success at graduation.

Summer communication and orientation

Over the summer, we’ll be in touch with information to help you prepare for the start of classes, and we’ll set up channels to connect you with your fellow students. At orientation, we’ll help you start off your career at Medill with a fun and informative program.
