The video begins by the concrete steps outside the Keller Center’s north entrance, where a built-in concrete sign reads, “Harris School of Public Policy, The Keller Center.”

Next, we see some students sitting inside the Keller Center. The students are working and chatting, seated in the Harris Family Foundation’s King Harris Forum. The Forum is a sun-soaked, four-level atrium that reaches the full height of the building. Two students wave as another student approaches to join them. Three other students are chatting and working collaboratively on a laptop. On the third-floor balcony, two students sit together talking to one another.

In a new scene, two Harris students write equations on a clear whiteboard.

The next scene shows a time-lapse video where cars and pedestrians pass through one of the famous, pink-colored gates to the walled city in Jaipur, India.

Back in Chicago, students walk through the University of Chicago quad on an autumn day.

In downtown Chicago, we see an aerial view of the Chicago River and the surrounding skyscrapers. People cross the river on a bridge as a train passes in the background.

In Chicago's City Hall, three Harris students are talking with one another outside the Office of the Mayor.

In a new scene, two Harris students with clipboards take an evening walk between stops as they conduct a survey.

Finally, we see an aerial shot of the University of Chicago campus beside Lake Michigan.
