Looking for Help with your resume, cover letter, or just want some career advice? Feel free to drop by the IOP for some personalized help from one of the IOP's Career Development Staff.

The IOP hosts Chicago Treks in partnership with the Harris Center for Effective Government. Each trek offers 20 students the chance to dive into a political issue area through meeting with a broad range of public service practitioners. Participants will explore: What is the purpose of the new Police District Councils? Given the new mayor and city council, how is Chicago expected to change? During the campaign season, there were talks of rebuilding the ranks of the Chicago Police Department. How likely is this rebuild? Given the tightness in the Mayoral race, was the result to be expected? Speakers include: Dion McGill, 7th Police District Council Member-Elect, Isaac Troncoso, Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability Commissioner, and Erik Wallenius, Cook County Assessor's Office Director of Policy.
