McCormick Tribune Fellows Workshop - 2005-2006 ScheduleThe theme of the program is "Eyes on Chicago:" the Individuals, Institutions and Initiatives that help define the public policies of our city. The sessions, guests, site visits, and books discussed throughout the year are designed to provide the Fellows with an initial understanding of the "who" and the "what" and the "how" of Chicago's civic life—an attempt to weave a bit of the fabric of Chicago for the Fellows.
