  • Intersession 2012
    INTERSESSION 2012 In order to support students from the Class of 2014 in meeting their computer science requirement, the following opportunity is offered during intersession week. This is an additional opportunity during intersession week and participation in this session does not fulfill any intersession requirements. No sign- up is required to take advantage of this opportunity. Computer Science Requirement – Class of 2014 A semester of a computer science course at IMSA or passing the computer science proficiency test is a graduation requirement for the class of 2014. The review unit for the CS proficiency test is available to students on Moodle (IMSA non-credit courses--> Review material for CS proficiency test). During the intersession week, Dr. Pat and Ms. Pandya will be available on Monday and Tuesday between 8:30am - 11:30am, to answer any questions students may have about the review material in room A152. Tests will be administered at 6:00pm on Wednesday, 1:00pm on Thursday, and 8:30am on Friday in the A152. Students should allow for a little over two hours for the test. The review material is just a guideline for the test; students are expected to have general knowledge of computer science to be successful on the test. Students who elect to take the proficiency test and are unable to take it during intersession week may see Dr. Pat or Ms. Pandya in the Math Office to make alternate arrangements. The following two intersession experiences will be required for some students. Students will be notified of required participation no later than December 9, 2011.

Our longstanding partnership demonstrates the enormous possibilities for the world when two strong and independent nations unite in common purpose and in common cause - Donald Trump, President of the United States of America Washington, June 13, 2019 There will be more American troops in Poland. This is going to be an enhanced cooperation. It's going to be an enduring presence, which hopefully will increase gradually in terms of the number of troops, but also in terms of infrastructure which is very important - Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland Editorial Dear Readers, he ninth issue of the quarterly opens with an article about the infrastructure project of strategic imperative for Poland – the construction of the Solidarity Transport Hub Central Airport. In the piece by the TSecretary of State and Government Plenipotentiary for the Central Communication Port, Minister Mikołaj Wild maintains that the project is a development impulse for Poland and Central Eastern Europe. The author emphasizes the construction of the port would enable an increase in passenger and cargo potential and would situate Poland on the leading passenger and freight routes, which has considerable importance for economic development and security of the region. In another part of the issue, the predicaments faced by the European Union are examined considering its internal challenges, such as a new composition of the European Parliament and European Commission, and external challenges – including the ongoing trade war between the United States and China.

  • A History of Kosciuszko Park 9
    A History of Kosciuszko Park By Dan Pogorzelski Spanning the Chicago Community Areas of Logan Square and Avondale, the neighborhood of Kos- ciuszko Park lies on the city's Northwest Side where the brick homes and two-flats of the Bungalow Belt mesh with the impressive former factories along the Pulaski Avenue Industrial Corridor. Colloquially known by locals as "Koz Park", or even the "Land of Koz", the area is a prime example of a local identity born through the coming together of locals thanks to the green spaces set aside by the foresight of Chicago's Pro- gressive civic leaders. The boundaries of Kosciuszko Park are generally held to be Central Park Avenue to the East, the Milwaukee District/North Line Railroad tracks to the West, George to the North, and Altgeld to the South. Ice skaters enjoying a winter’s day in front of the fieldhouse at Kosciuszko Park in 1964. Photo Courtesy of the Chicago Park District 9. Most of the land between Fullerton and Diversey Avenues as well as Kimball Avenue to Pulaski Road was empty as late as the 1880's, mostly consisting of the rural "truck farms" that peppered much of Jefferson Township. This began to change with the annexation of this rustic hinterland to the city in 1889 in anticipation of the World's Columbian Exposition that would focus the country's eyes on Chicago just a few short years later in 1893. A glance of these parts thanks to an old Rand McNally map of Chicago from 1892 reveals just how different the original designations of local streets were before the great unification of Chicago’s street and address system in 1908.

  • NWCHS-Jan 2012
    Newsletter – January 2012 Number XV Whiskey Breakfast; a Book Review • A History of Kosciuszko Park A Photo History of a Jefferson Park House The second half of 2011 was filled with exciting events for the Northwest Chicago Historical Society. Our collaboration with organizations such as Forgotten Chicago, the Chicago Portage Asso- ciation, and the Bohemian National Cemetery have enabled us to direct people to informative lectures and tours throughout the Northwest side. Additionally, our relationships with other Historical Societ- ies, such as those in Edgebrook, Niles and Northbrook, have connected local historians throughout the area. This past year, we established a walking tour of Jefferson Park. The historic Gale Street Inn was instrumental in helping us to succeed, pairing one of our tours with a fabulous lunch. Attendees were thrilled to enjoy cold beer and hot ribs in the restaurant right after the tour. We also were fortu- nate to pair a tour with some improvisational comedy at The Gift Theater, a landmark local theater in downtown Jefferson Park. In this issue of the NWCHS newsletter, we discover Kosciuszko ("Koz") Park and how it ties in with the rich Polish history in the Logan Square and Avondale neighborhoods. The last 100 years have brought about marked change in the area, but we can still find some remnants of the past through an examination of the park and local streets today. Additionally, we review the pictorial history of a Jefferson Park home. As it is unusual to find many pictures of the inside of a home during this period, these photographs are extraordinary.
