UChicago has announced an ambitious $300 million initiative to expand college and career opportunities for students from rural and small-town communities across the U.S.

A $100 million gift from Byron and Tina Trott launched the Trott Center for Excellence in Rural America, which will expand financial aid and provide students with career support and advising through and after graduation.

The gift reinforces UChicago’s commitment to access through its prestigious Odyssey Scholarship Program and distinctive educational environment. President Paul Alivisatos said: “The University of Chicago has long believed that our academic excellence goes hand in hand with expanding opportunity to intellectually rigorous and curious students from every community.”

How do you make complex science click for the general public?

Take a peek inside the College’s science communication minor, where students learn to ditch the jargon and turn cutting-edge research into stories that land with people outside the lab.

Students study the research behind why science communication succeeds or fails, then put it into practice through hands-on projects.

Brianna Leech, AB’26, turned satellite data into a wildfire-risk tool for Utah’s Department of Natural Resources during a summer at a NASA research center. Rising third-year, Elijah Tan, reworked a story on nuclear microreactors after a classmate asked him the question every communicator has to answer: “Why should I care?”

Nearly 20 years ago, three of the manual cinema co-founders were UChicago students discovering their passion for theater. This past spring, they came home to build a sold-out, wordless play with the next generation of artists.

This is what hands-on research looks like at UChicago.

Undergraduate researchers in the Development Innovation Lab are working alongside Nobel laureate Michael Kremer on studies that inform real policy decisions, sometimes for millions of people at a time.
