Within City Colleges of Chicago, each college is motivated, propelled, and differentiated by unique aspects of their community and the services they offer. This is reflected in Olive-Harvey’s culture drivers, which distinguish us from the other members of the system and build upon the system-wide strategy the Olive-Harvey brand is rooted in.
