| Crossing Lines |
We've recently launched a new video series, Crossing Lines. (You can also view the series on our YouTube channel.) Students from various locations share why they decided to come to ICO. We led with Californian Robert Baltierra '17, Canadian Julie Lafreniere '17, Chicagoan Chris Bugajski '15 and Texan Jonathan Pham '17. We've conducted quite a few interviews and will be adding more content in the next few months. And students-don't be surprised if we tap YOU to give us the inside scoop about why you chose ICO and how you're adapting to life in Chicago.
