Location: Crain Communications, 150 N. Michigan Ave., 18th floor (map)
RSVP: chicagoaaja@gmail.com (required for security)

Hamm became the dean on Sept. 1. Now that he has been in Evanston for a few months, it’s great time to ask about his plans for the school and share your thoughts about what students need to know as they enter our changing profession.
We’ll kick off the event with a networking hour and then begin the Q&A. Refreshments will be provided. Students are welcome to join us and network with Medill alums.
AAJA-Chicago would like to thank Crain’s Chicago Business and the Medill School for sponsoring the event.
