Jeff Orschel, SIS/BA '02

Dorm Jeff lived in freshman year: Anderson Hall

Favorite AU memories: serving as Freshman Service Experience orientation leader, attending basketball games (both home and away) as a member of the Screaming Eagles, interning at the Washington bureau of BBC news, and last, but certainly not least, studying the European Union in Brussels through AU Abroad.

Favorite thing to do in Chicago during spare time: Attend sporting events, especially Cubs and Fire (professional soccer) games, countdown to Chicago Air & Water Show, and eat at new restaurants in Chicago's many neighborhoods. Favorites include the Pasta Bowl in Lincoln Park, Greek Islands in Greektown, and Five Guys - yup, even in Chicago! 

Most enjoyable aspect of his work: Figuring out creative ways to promote clients through the media, and ultimately, making them happy.
