Relocation
The Office of Dual Careers and Faculty Relocation works with academic families relocating to the Chicago area.
We recognize that the logistics of relocating your life to a new city can be complex, and we can provide assistance in the following areas:
- Referrals to moving companies, move-in/move-out deep cleaning services, and professional unpacking and home organizers
- Strategies on how to best move the contents of a home and campus office in an efficient and cost-effective manner
- Options for transporting your vehicle to Chicago
- Locating temporary housing in Chicago
- Facilitating introductions to other academic families living in your new neighborhood
“For scholars who do research overseas, faculty relocation isn’t simply a one-time event. This office helped us by listing our family’s Hyde Park apartment while we sought responsible, University-affiliated subletters for the time when we were abroad on a Fulbright to do research. This kind of matchmaking can help not only permanent faculty but also those who come to the University on shorter assignments.”
