Edited By Willage, Marc B.
On February 1, 2024, Dr. Aissetu Ibrahims, a professor in Social Work, made a presentation addressing the large segment of the city's population who live in poverty and isolation. He advises his college students to pay attention to the ZIP Codes in which poverty is concentrated. It turns out, the different ZIP Codes in south and west Chicago are characterized by life expectancies, which can be decreased by several years.
Dr. Ibrahims is the Director of the Master’s Degree program at Northeast Illinois University.
