The Chicago Urban Cultural Immersion Trip, which is open to all Nebraska Wesleyan students, will allow ten Wesleyan students and the Assistant to the Provost for Student Success and Diversity to experience Chicago's urban planning, city life, and cultural diversity over five days during 2010's spring break. The Presidents Council for Cultural Diversity with conjunction with Wolf Funds has sponsored $2240.68 of the trip; which is made up of ten students and the Assistant to the Provost for Student Success and Diversity.
