COVID-19 Response: • The impact of the COVID-19 public health crisis has disrupted everyday life throughout the Eastern Michigan University community. As a division, we have been partnering with the university to do everything we can to address the current and future needs of our students. The Student Emergency Fund received 294 applications in March, compared to four in February. The John and Angie Sabo Swoop's Food Pantry Room has had over 730 visits since March 11, 2020, distributing 16,679 pounds of food. Our students continue to be in desperate need of assistance during this time of uncertainty. On Tuesday, May 5, thousands of caring and compassionate individuals across the globe celebrated Giving Tuesday Now. Thanks to the generosity of our EMU community, in just 24 hours Swoop's Food Pantry received over $19,000, the Student Emergency Fund received more than $44,000, and WEMU raised $22,334. With the generous matching gift of $50,000 from GameAbove, all donations to the Student Emergency Fund will be matched 1:1. Our Giving Tuesday Now efforts were also supported by two generous gifts to both the Student Emergency Fund and Swoop's Food Pantry from DTE and an allocation of funds to both by the EMU Foundation Board of Trustees. These funds will make a positive and immediate impact on our students. Thank you so much to those who made a gift to the Student Emergency Fund, WEMU, or Swoop’s Food Pantry in honor of Giving Tuesday Now. Your support will help create a safety net for students who are facing financial hardship and want to return to school in the fall. Communications: • In collaboration with Communications, the Alumni team has been contributing to story ideas and messaging strategy to our alumni base through the e-Edge and social media efforts. The refreshed Alumni website is currently under editing and review and is slated to go live in June. Commencement • While our graduates didn’t get to walk across the stage for Spring Commencement, we created a memorable experience for them nonetheless. Through digital platforms, the university was able to celebrate by providing a virtual experience for graduating students through text messages, social media filters, selfie videos in TRU-EMU fashion. Hundreds of graduates participated in a commencement virtual wall to experience their celebration. The congratulations selfie video montage, which includes fellow students, faculty, staff, alumni and family members, received more than 21,000 views on Facebook alone! In addition, a major part of our annual graduation celebrations is the Multicultural Graduation Celebration. In recognition of that and to celebrate our graduating students of color, the Center of Race and Ethnicity (CORE) honored our graduates with a wonderful video that includes messages from faculty and others. Homecoming • Homecoming is currently slated for Sept. 29 thru Oct. 3 with an alumni weekend focus on Oct. 1-4. Mia Milton is overseeing Homecoming with Jessica Nietrzeba as the chair of the Homecoming Alumni Subcommittee and Tray McGuire as chair of the Sponsorship Subcommittee as well as member of the Community Engagement. The Alumni Subcommittee is working with a group of six people to plan an exciting alumni homecoming weekend. This is the 100th Homecoming, and possible programming for the weekend include happy hours, a centennial celebration box, a time capsule, a digital story map of the past 100 years, possible battle of the deejays to name a few. All subcommittees have been assigned to develop contingency plans for possible adjustment to social distancing guidelines due to COVID-19. The Alumni Association Board will be provided with a complete schedule once direction has been confirmed from the university. Recognition • As we all know, events have been cancelled through June and are tentative through the reminder of the summer and into the Fall semesters due to the Coronavirus. Those events that have been canceled includes the Week of Excellence where we would have recognized our ETEA2 recipient, Ann Blakeslee. Once we have more information on what future events look like we will plan a recognition will take place to honor her. Alumni Awards • Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 our 2020 Alumni Awards Ceremony has been postponed. However, we still plan to acknowledge this year’s recipients: o Outstanding Young Alumni Award Farah Harb MBA12 – Global Education Analyst, Ford Motor Co. Fund & Community Services Zach Wigal BBA16 – Founder, Gamers Outreach and Gamers for Giving Fundraiser o Alumni Achievement Award Kevin N. Alschuler, Ph.D. MS06 – Associate Professor and Attending Psychologist, University of Washington School of Medicine Dr. Derrick R. Coleman BS96, MA01 – Superintendent, River Rouge School District Chad Newton BS96, MS10 – Chief Executive Officer, Wayne County Airport Authority o Distinguished Alumni Award Bynarozell Elliott BBA92 – Senior Vice President, Chief Enterprise Responsibility Officer at Fifth Third Bank o Dr. John W. Porter Distinguished Service Award Greg Peoples – Emeritus Dean of Students and University Ombudsman, Eastern Michigan University The 2020 Alumni Award winners will be included in the 2021 Alumni Awards celebration. This year’s recipients will also receive personal messages from President Smith and a commemorative gift along with a message from the Office for Alumni Relations. Staff Transition • On April 16, Celia Murkowski transitioned into a new role within the Division of Advancement as the Assistant Director of Development for Campaign Initiatives. For the time being, she will continue to lead our event planning efforts, working closely with the Alumni Office. We wish her well in her new role. Remote Work Period • EMU employees who have been working remotely will continue to do so through the end of July. Employees who have been designated as "critical infrastructure workers" or who have been specifically assigned to conduct “minimum basic operations” continue to work on campus as directed by their supervisors. Under the Governor’s executive order, all employees working on campus are required to wear a non-medical grade facemask, which the University is providing. The Division of Advancement will most likely continue to work remotely through the end of the summer. Mia Milton Executive Director of Alumni Relations & Engagement (I) Eastern Michigan University Alumni Association Board of Directors Meeting and Social Time Aubree’s Pizzeria & Grill Friday, March 6 Meeting Minutes Members present: Trudy Adler, Howard Booth, Tom Borg, Susan Bos, Tom Charboneau, Mary Jane Fallot, Michael Gomez, Ruth Halsey, Lucas Langdon, Mary Larkin, Jenita Moore, Gabriela Salagean, Niklaus Schillack, Evan Sweet, Ebony Walls, Allen Williams, Claudia Young Hunter Members absent: Desmond Miller (excused), Michelle Machiele (excused), Marina Reyna (excused), Anna Torres (excused) Ex-officio members present: Bill Shepard, Jill Hunsberger, Trey McGuire, Mia Milton, Jessica Nietrzeba Ex-officio members absent: Celia Murkowski (excused) Emeritus member present:, William Malcom, Bud Schimmelpfenneg Emeritus member absent: Vicki Reaume (excused), Fred Roberts (excused) Others present: Jessica “Decky” Alexander, Director of the Office of Academic Service-Learning 1. Meeting Notes This was a social mix and mingle event. We discussed our stories as alumni and our ‘elevator pitch’ of how we would describe Eastern Michigan University. Page 1 of 1 EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT REPORT June 6, 2020 Connecting and Reconnecting Relationships are an inherent part of being human beings, and we see this especially to be true during this pandemic when we are not able to be in person with many people we hold dear. Members of the Eastern Michigan University (EMU) community feel this struggle as we have to resist that most basic instinct to spend time with other people when they need us and we need them the most. Still, our connections with fellow EMU friends stay strong as we find new ways to connect and reconnect. Therefore, I invite you as part of the Eastern Michigan University Alumni Association (EMUAA) to consider three actions we can take to support other people and find support ourselves during such a time as this: 1) Stay Informed, 2) Call Three People, and 3) Offer Time. 1. Stay Informed Facts matter. We want to be a fully informed Board of Directors, so please stay up-to-date on the happenings with EMU. This can be done by regularly checking the EMU website (www.emich.edu), reading the information distributed by the Office for Alumni Relations, and subscribing to EMU Today at today.emich.edu/subscribe. We are more effective as ambassadors of EMU and the EMUAA when we know what’s happening.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

  • Michigan Radio/NPR Sponsorship Contract
    Meeting Date: 09/16/2020 211 Williams Street Royal Oak, MI 48067 Phone: 248-246-3286 downtownroyaloak.org MEMORANDUM Date: September 10, 2020 To: DDA Board of Directors Subject: NPR/Michigan Radio Advertising At the September 9th Consumer Marketing Committee meeting, the committee recommended becoming a sponsor of NPR/ Michigan Radio in order to promote downtown Royal Oak to target demographics. The duration of the sponsorship is intended to be approximately 12 weeks, in synchronous with other advertising campaigns currently proposed by the committee. If approved, staff will work with Michigan Radio representatives to determine level of sponsorship and the content of the on-air mentions. The committee recommended a budget of $20,000 for the Michigan Radio sponsorship. Additional funds would have to be allocated to the advertising budget in order to execute the extension of the advertising agreement. The board may recall that various events the DDA sponsors have been canceled this year, including Spooktacular, Holiday Jingle, and Rock ‘n’ Rides, allowing for the possibility of reallocating those funds to media buys for advertising. Should the DDA concur with this recommendation, the following resolution has been prepared for its consideration. Be it resolved, the DDA approves the Consumer Marketing Committee’s recommendation that in order to promote downtown Royal Oak to receptive audiences, the DDA pursue a sponsorship of Michigan Radio in the amount of $20,000, which is to be reallocated from the event sponsorship budget. Be it further resolved, that the DDA authorizes the Executive Director to execute an agreement with Michigan Radio, which is subject to any revisions by the city attorney.
