☀️Meet the AEPP Staff! ☀️

Meet Josh, AEPP Instructor. We asked him what he is most looking forward to this summer:
"As much as I love the long, warm days and all of the music festivals that Chicago has to offer in the summer, I look forward to getting out of the city and going on long road trips with my dogs, Hamp and Roche! Here we are enjoying dinner at one of our favorite farm-to-table breweries in the Adirondack Mountains.”

☀️Meet the AEPP Staff! ☀️

Meet Amanda, Senior Operations Manager, Language Pedagogy Jr. Associate. We asked Amanda what she was most excited for this summer:
"This summer, I'm most excited to soak up as much time outside as possible with my dog, Max, who I rescued this past winter. He's making up for lost time on all the walks, park visits, and sniffing adventures. 🐶 I'm also excited to welcome a new group of AEPP students and help them kick off their time at UChicago with a fun summer!"

☀️Meet the AEPP Staff! ☀️

With AEPP just around the corner, we'd like to introduce you to the incredible staff running the program! To begin, here is Julie, ELI Director and AEPP Instructor. We asked her what she is most looking forward to this summer:

"My favorite summer activity in Chicago hands down is the water taxi to Chinatown. It is so calming, and then we get to scarf down on yummy delights. Highly highly recommended for all ages. Pro tip: Tickets from the Chicago Water Taxi company don't expire, so if the weather turns bad, you can save your ride for another day."
