Elmhurst College
Updated October, 2011
Elmhurst College, a private, four-year college affiliated with the United Church of Christ, is our first Campus Consortium partner in Chicago and the second in Illinois. The Elmhurst Experience refers to a contemporary framing of liberal learning, with student self-formation and early professional preparation as its hallmarks. Its goal is to educate the whole student for life in a global society. This innovative model of higher education goes beyond imparting information to students by stimulating reflection, developing insights, challenging assumptions and sharpening judgments. It asks students to expand well beyond their comfort zones, through study abroad, service learning and rigorous collaborative research with faculty.
Journalism at Elmhurst is open to students of any major. The program includes a student newspaper with a reputation for breaking news and earning respect of its peers. Each year, the staff of The Leader brings multiple first-place awards home from the convention of the Illinois College Press Association.
As with other Campus Consortium partners, Elmhurst students, faculty and the wider community will explore how the Pulitzer Center’s model of collaborative non-profit journalism fills in the information gaps and builds a deeper understanding of systemic global issues. A two-year series of seminars, lectures and workshops is designed to position Elmhurst College students and others from the Chicago area and around the state for the journalistic world they will face in the future—one that is highly digital, dynamic, competitive and global.
