When you send your student off into the world away from home for the first time, you want to know that wherever they’re going, they won’t be alone. You want to know that there will be someone there to help whenever there is a need. At the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), each student has that support. Each student has the shoulder of a network of faculty and staff to lean on whenever they need it. Our faculty, staff, and advisors are artists, designers, philosophers, writers, and scholars just like them. So they understand the thoughts your student is thinking and the issues they may face. Whether it’s some friendly advice on a difficult course, advice dealing with a roommate, or help dealing with a health issue, our advisors, faculty, and staff will help to guide them in the right direction.
