First Map Post

The University of Illinois Chicago

A large public research university not far outside of Chicago's famed Loop, the University of Illinois at Chicago was established in the 1960s near the interchange of two interstate highways and several different neighborhoods. It's east campus adjacent to downtown Chicago includes a nearly complete list of the colleges one expects to find at a R1 institution. The west side health campus houses several additional schools and colleges, including the School of Public Health.

I'm including this interactive map where you can scroll out and identify where the campus is relative to parts of the city you might have visited if you've been to Chicago before.

I chose UIC for this map post because I studied and worked there for 10 years , completing a B.A. in Sociology and M.S. in Epidemiology and working on health behavior-related community environment research at the Institute for Health Research and Policy.
