UIUC Bus Trip Itinerary 10-11-13
Dear students,
On Friday, October 11, 2013, the College of Education and UNITE (a campus RSO) is proud to sponsor a all-expense paid trip to Chicago for students who are interested in learning more about the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), the impact of community agencies and neighborhoods on urban education, and future opportunities for placements/employment in the CPS system.
Attached to this e-mail is a proposed itinerary for the day-long trip. In addition, I am including a list of likely school sites where we will have morning visits. Please note that not all school sites will be used when the final trip arrangements are made but opportunities for K-12 visits in various content areas/programs will be assured.
If you are interested in participating in this trip, please consider the following:
1. You must attend a mandatory pre-trip meeting on Wednesday, October 2, 2013, at 8:30PM on the 3rd Floor of the Levis Faculty Center. Permission to go on the trip without attending this meeting must be requested directly from Jay Mann (jaymann@illinois.edu).
2. You must commit to attend the trip on October 11th, barring documented illness by the Emergency Dean. If you sign up for the trip and do not attend (cancellation or no show after October 2nd), you will be responsible for a $50-$75 cancellation fee to reimburse the College for expenses paid on your behalf.
3. This trip occurs on a Friday during normal class session. As a result, this voluntary trip is intended only for those students whose schedules permit and/or those who have instructor support to attend. The Office of Clinical Experiences cannot excuse you from any classes that meet that day.
To register for the trip, please visit the link below:

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Thank you!
