Six students from Chicago State University, Illinois’ sole four-year Predominantly Black Institution for higher education, began summer internships this week across Publicis Groupe, including at Leo Burnett Chicago, Arc Worldwide and ThePub; and one of their classmates has accepted a full-time position at Publicis Health Media.
The connection is the culmination of a decades-long partnership and pro bono work through the Pencil Project, most recently with a bootcamp creative curriculum during the Spring semester, with support from Marcus Graham Project.
