Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies

Happy ! Today we are participating in a national day of giving to raise funds for the Jacob H. Carruthers Center (CCICS).

Giving Tuesday is your chance to support The Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies (CCICS) students at NEIU. Make a big impact for the NEIU Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies. Your gift will support students tuition and resources to further advance their education as well as provide various opportunities for personal and professional growth. With your help this we will continue to develop scholarship funding in honor of Dr. Conrad Worrill, the renowned former Director of CCICS, social activist, and educator.

Give $19.76 to provide lunch or snacks for a student in honor of the year 1976 when Dr. Conrad Worrill began his journey at CCICS.

Give $42.00 to support transportation for a student back and forth to campus and commemorate the 42 years of service Dr. Conrad Worrill gave to CCICS through his leadership, activism and teaching social and racial justice.

Give $78.00 for students to participate in cultural enrichment activities and conferences in celebration of the 78 years of life Dr. Conrad Worrill lived!

Give $201.60 in honor of the year 2016 when Dr. Conrad Worill retired from CCICS and continued to create opportunities for students by building community partnerships to close financial gaps in order to cover tuition, fees, books and maintain cultural relevant programming.

CCICS has a rich history and culturally relevant lens that provides equity to students of underrepresented communities. It is a safe space of inclusion, especially for Black identified students to thrive through the cultivation of academic scholarship, creative arts, social justice and more.
