Culture drivers

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 Harry S Truman’s culture drivers, which distinguish us from the other members of the system and build upon the system-wide strategy the Truman brand is rooted in.

On your side, every-step-of-the-way support

Open-arms, come-together community
