Veronica Hauad, Associate Director for Admissions, and Sonya Malunda, Senior Associate Vice President for Community Engagement, discuss the University's UChicago Promise Program, an initiative that offers a no-loan pledge for Chicago students who are admitted to UChicago, as well as a wide array of support and mentoring programs for all students in the city of Chicago who aspire to attend college. Under that umbrella are programs such as the University’s successful Collegiate Scholars Program, which provides extensive support and a peer network for promising Chicago Public Schools students to gain admission to the nation’s top schools and universities. Hauad also leads workshops to train high school counselors and teachers how to advise their students as they apply to colleges and universities.
