"The Chicago Center program is amazing and is the
reason why I came back to Chicago. I definitely feel comfortable and
confident here and it's all due to the Chicago Center program. A special thanks
also goes to Arvis for his guidance, his refusal to except that we
couldn't make something happen, and for his way of expanding my view
of the city and social work."
