Welcome

Dear visitor,

Welcome to SSP! We are a group of 19 high school, college, and medical students committed to social justice on the South side of Chicago. With this blog we hope to chronicle our nine-week adventure in experiential learning about health, broadly and holistically defined. As a space for our voices to be heard, we will use this blog to share our reflections, aspirations, and plans for creating service projects geared toward improving health on the South side.

 Each team will work closely to explore, map, and learn from the assets their neighborhood has to offer. Individually we are organized into three neighborhood teams. 

Woodlawn	South Chicago	Greater Grand Crossing	Program Support
Tom Couri	Chris Casteneda	Joanna Perdomo	Dr. Kohar Jones
Rebecca Harris	Elise Madrid	David Goese	Sujata Mehta
Esther Schoenfeld	Danny Rosa	Ben Trnka	Wujun Ke
Olivia Singleton	Octavia Griffin	Tiara Harvey
Aliyah Singleton	Carl Mangrum	Diamond Gregory
Sierra James	Mariah Ryce	Marissa Smith

Together we are SSP 2012. Here's to an amazing summer!! :) :) :)

With special thanks to the Urban Health Initiative, Pritzker School of Medicine, UCM Department of Family Medicine, the College at the University of Chicago and the Jeff Metcalf Fellows program for their generous and ongoing support.
