Brian found plenty of opportunities to pursue his passion for urban and suburban studies (USS) and history. Like other students with USS minors, Brian participated in Chicago Term. “Chicago Term is one of the unique programs North Central offers. It brings together students with a wide array of majors and provides an interdisciplinary classroom experience. Chicago Term gets students out of the traditional classroom and into the city.”

He took courses in Chicago history, art and architecture and obtained an internship with a company that conducts tours of historic sites. “By participating in both my classes and the internship, I learned more about the development of Chicago.”

Brian also studied abroad in England and continues to work part time as a museum curator at the Museums at Lisle Station Park in nearby Lisle.
