Season 7 kicks off with an exciting guest who’s name you may already know, Walter Mendenhall! Walter is a Chicago product, growing up in and around the city and taking his football talents to UIUC. It’s what Walter has accomplished more recently, however that brings him to Bridging Chicago, and we’re so happy he stopped by. This will be a two-part episode, and in part one, you can learn more about Walter’s background and how he was able to balance being a student athlete. You’ll also learn some of the life lessons he obtained from his time at U of I, as well as the big things to come in the future. Be sure to tune in next week for part two.
