Wilbur Wright College - One of the City Colleges of Chicago Wilbur Wright College - One of the City Colleges of Chicago 3 Introducing Wilbur Wright College A Brief History Wilbur Wright College was established in 1934 at 3400 N. Austin Ave. with the mission of providing quality education for those who seek higher learning and career advancement. Today it is one of the seven colleges that comprise the City Colleges of Chicago. The City Colleges are under the control of the Board of Trustees of Community College District 508, administrated through a district office headed by the system’s chancellor. Wright grants associate degrees, and its credit courses are transferable to most four-year colleges and universities. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. No longer a junior college, Wright offers a comprehensive curriculum to students seeking to transfer credit, adult education, or career and technical training. In 1993, the college moved from 3400 N. Austin Ave. to 4300 N. Narragansett Ave. Nestled in a park-like campus, five interconnected buildings enable students to access classrooms, laboratories and support services without having to go outside. These architecturally significant buildings were designed by Bertrand Goldberg, an award winning architect whose work includes the Marina Towers in downtown Chicago. An additional campus, the Humboldt Park Vocational Education Center, opened in 1995 at 1645 N. California Ave. This campus serves as a job training and educational center for the Humboldt Park and West Town communities. Wright College is a place where students can learn in a friendly atmosphere from caring, experienced and knowledgeable faculty, most of whom hold master’s or doctoral degrees. Wright’s name honors Wilbur Wright, who along with his brother Orville, designed and flew the first powered airplane in 1903, a feat that stretched the boundaries of aviation technology and catapulted the world into a new era of research, education and learning. Wright College is learning- centered. Whatever your goals may be, Wright College is the place to launch your education. 4 Wilbur Wright College - One of the City Colleges of Chicago Wilbur Wright College - One of the City Colleges of Chicago Our Mission The Mission and Purpose of Wilbur Wright College OUR MISSION STATEMENT Wilbur Wright College is a learning-centered, multi-campus institution of higher education offering students of diverse backgrounds, talents, and abilities a quality education leading to baccalaureate transfer, career advancement, and/or personal development. Wilbur Wright College - One of the City Colleges of Chicago Wilbur Wright College - One of the City Colleges of Chicago 5 Introducing the City Colleges of Chicago Community college education has existed in Chi- cago since 1911, beginning from classes in a high school. The City Colleges of Chicago have multiplied to seven community colleges, administrated from a District Office (left) at 226 W. Jackson Blvd. in down- town Chicago, which led to the establishment of Crane Junior College (now Malcolm X College). From this modest beginning, the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) has grown to a system of seven individually accredited colleges, three learning centers, and three technical institutes. Clarence Darrow, the renowned Chicago lawyer, argued in the defense of the City Colleges when, during the Depression, its existence was threatened by a financially strapped Board of Education. Darrow stated that higher education in the form of the then “junior college had to endure” because the City Col- leges were “for the people.” As a result of state legislative action in the late 1960’s, the City Colleges’ status as a junior college changed to that of a comprehensive community college. The City Colleges of Chicago, Community College District 508, today reaches more than 200,000 people annually, through the 13 facilities of the City College system, programs conducted in local community centers, public and parochial high schools, social service centers, and branches of the Chicago Pub- lic Library. Students can also take internet-based courses via television through CCC’s Public Broadcast Station, WYCC-TV Channel 20, and the Center for Distance Learning. The district offers a variety of Associate Degree Programs that prepare students for transfer with junior level standing to universities. A comprehensive offering of certificate programs also prepares students for immediate entry in their chosen careers. City Colleges provides specialized training for many workforce development programs, and tuition-free Adult Education courses including English as a Second Language (ESL), Adult Basic Education (ABE), and General Education Equivalency (GED), as well as Continuing Education (CE) programs that add value to the quality of life. City Colleges continues to serve its community, offering highly qualified faculty, a sustained commitment to affordable tuition and excellence in higher education for all citizens of Chicago.

The notion is simple: bring together a diverse group of stakeholders to address health and other inequities on the West Side. However, we humbly recognize that elevating equity and closing the health disparity gap is no small feat. For this very reason, we invited a broad collective of residents, Larry Goodman, MD healthcare providers, educators, government leaders, businesses, Chief Executive Officer grant makers, community-based organizations, members of the faith Rush University Medical Center community, and others to come together to hear from one another on how to make the West Side Total Health Collaborative a reality.
