Arrival night in Chicago


The annual trip to Chicago for first year Graphic Design students was a smashing success this year! The trip consists of a 7 day journey to Chicago with an over night stop in Minneapolis. ITs a long, long bus ride but such a great trip!
Students took in a variety of sights:

  • The Art Institute of Chicago
  • The Museum of Contemporary Art
  • Frank Lloyd Wright Studio and Oak Park
  • Wilis (Sears) Tower
  • Architectural Riverboat Tour

And of course just the fun of being in such a great city!
