On October 1, 2014, the University of Chicago announced a comprehensive undergraduate initiative to broaden access to the College, reduce college debt, simplify the application process, and provide expanded career opportunities. The main element is No Barriers, which eliminates the need for student loans from need-based financial aid packages, removes application fees for all students applying for financial aid, simplifies the process for obtaining financial aid, and guarantees paid internships for students from low-income families during the summer after their first academic year. Participants in this event at the University of Chicago Gleacher Center included University President Robert J. Zimmer; John W. Boyer, Dean of the College, College student Anthony Downer, and college counselor Lindsey R. Hunter.

On March 14, 2013, Chapin Hall hosted a Child & Family Policy Forum at the University of Chicago Gleacher Center titled ”Chapin Hall Child and Family Policy Forum: Collaborative Approaches to Teen Pregnancy Prevention.” Despite overall declining rates of teen births in the United States, there exists significant disparity across race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and youth living in conditions of higher risk. Teen pregnancy and birth rates in the United States are also significantly higher than in other industrialized nations. The social and economic costs of teen pregnancy are high and have a long-term impact on teen parents, their children, and communities. Teen pregnancy is often related to other risky behaviors, and hence its prevention is of paramount importance to the health and quality of life of pregnant and parenting youth. Consequently, it is largely a public health issue.The evidence base indicates that it takes more comprehensive approaches than just sex education to address this issue, including those that address protective factors based on knowledge, skills, beliefs, and attitudes related to teen pregnancy. Additionally, outreach is maximized when these approaches are taken to where the youth are, whether in schools or in community settings. Public health agencies are increasingly forming partnerships with such institutions and organizations, helping them to leverage local resources. They are also supporting evaluation research efforts through local and national initiatives.
