For Students
Education should not be intended to make people comfortable, it is meant to make them think.
Applications for the 2025-2026 Chicago Forum Student Board are now open!
The Chicago Forum team values a deep commitment to engaging diverse viewpoints and the ability to communicate across multiple perspectives. We encourage all current UChicago students who share similar values to apply for a leadership position on our Chicago Forum Student Board. Please complete the application here.
All positions are a one-year term, and candidates can apply for new positions or the same position in subsequent years. Select candidates will be invited to an interview with members of the Chicago Forum team and current graduating Chicago Forum Student Board leaders.
Students can always get involved as committee members and help organize programming for their School/Division Committee or for an Interest Based Committee.
All applications are due by April 17 at 11:59pm CT.
