COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ANNUAL REPORT Executive Summary The 2015-2016 academic year in the College of Arts and Sciences was again full of faculty, staff and student accomplishments. Although it was a challenging year due to state budget uncertainty, our outstanding faculty and staff continued to provide an exceptional environment for teaching and learning. Despite Northeastern‘s enrollment issues in the last few years, the number of degrees conferred has steadily increased. In 2016, the College of Arts and Sciences had a total of 1192 degrees conferred, with an additional five certificates awarded in Geographic Information Sciences. The CAS continues to generate the most credit hours in the University, offering 69,955 (75%) of the total 92,953 credit hours in Fall 2015. This year our highly productive faculty scholars published nearly two hundred books, book chapters, and articles/abstracts, and made numerous presentations, both nationally and internationally. In addition, at least 40 of our faculty received grants or fellowships. Highlights include the following: Ken Nicholson (Chemistry) was Co-PI for a National Science Foundation-Improving Undergraduate Science Education grant (NSF-IUSE); Hardik Marfatia (Economics) earned a ChicagoCHEC partnership grant with faculty from Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Chicago; Joshua Salzmann (History) and Dave Green (Library) co-wrote a grant from the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries; and Andreas Savas Kourvetaris (Sociology) received an Initiation Speaker Grant from Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD) for NEIU alumna Alexis Dennis. The National Institutes of Health-Maximizing Access to Research Careers (NIH-MARC) program, with Co-PIs Breckie Church (Psychology), Emina Stojkovic (Biology) and Joseph Hibdon Jr. (Math), graduated its first cohort of MARC scholars. In 2015-2016, the CAS offered for the first time a Minor in Jewish Studies. This interdisciplinary program offers courses in Political Science, Linguistics, History, English, and World Languages and Cultures. In addition, the Masters of Social Work (MSW) program was approved and its first cohort of students began the two-year program in Fall 2016. Dr. Troy Harden was hired as the new MSW director in January 2016. The College is also pleased to report that the 2015 English & Math: Enrichment, Readiness & Growth Experience (EMERGE) program had another successful summer in support of our incoming students. 4 In April 2016, the CAS was well represented at the 23rd Annual NEIU Student Research and Creative Activities Symposium, as well as NEIU‘s 6th Annual Faculty Research Symposium in November 2015. Likewise, the Student Center for Science Engagement (SCSE) 6th Annual Research Symposium and the 10th Annual Fall Psychology Student Symposium were held in September 2015 and December 2015 respectively. While there were countless other activities and programs this year in the College of Arts and Sciences, we continue to be extremely proud of our partnership with the Division of Student Affairs on NEIU‘s Economic Inequality Initiative. The Economic Inequality Initiative, which officially launched in April 2015, was in full swing by the Fall 2015 semester, with highly a successful and well attended Roundtable event. Some of the events and activities that were part of the Economic Inequality Initiative this year included the opening of the new NEIU Student Food Pantry; an Open Mic series that provided opportunities for discussions ranging from gender to climate change; as well as lectures on topics from financial literacy and borrowing/investment decisions, to transitioning to a global economy. Through collaboration with others on campus and in the community, the goal of the Economic Inequality Initiative is to help students think about and take action to confront the complex causes of growing economic inequality. The Economic Inequality Initiative calendar also highlighted and supported days of service (e.g., Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Cesar Chavez Day), the International Women‘s Day ―Pledge for Parity,‖ and various training sessions offered by the LGBTQA Resource Center, the Undocumented Student Ally Project and The (dis)Ability Project. Taken together, this work also contributes to the University‘s efforts to enhance student learning by adopting and expanding high-impact educational practices, including undergraduate research, service learning, and community-based learning, to increase student engagement and participation in civic life. We were fortunate enough to hire six new faculty members in Fall 2015: Jorge Cantu (Biology), Jeffrey Bulanda (Social Work), Lewis Gebhardt (Linguistics), Xiwei Wang (Computer Science), Shan Wang (Mathematics), and David Kern (Psychology). In the area of promotion and tenure, five faculty members were promoted to full professor: Sangmin Bae (Political Science), Russell Benjamin (Political Science), Jon Hageman (Anthropology), William Sieger (Art), and Charles Steinwedel (History). In addition, 13 faculty were promoted to associate professor and granted tenure: Jacqueline Anderson (Social Work), Marcia Buell (English), Sarah Cordell (Mathematics), Mateo Farzaneh (History), Scott Hegerty (Economics), Jin Kim (Social Work), Christopher Merchant (Psychology), Graciela Perera (Computer Science), Vida Sacic (Art), Shannon Saszik (Psychology), Angela Sweigart-Gallagher (Communication, Media and Theatre), Susan Tang (Music), and Ken Voglesonger (Earth Science). Finally, Laura Sanders (Earth Science) and Russell Zanca (Anthropology) were recommended for a Promotional Advance Increase. 5 Among the eight Professors awarded Emeritus status in December of 2015 were five retirees from the College of Arts and Sciences: Lucrecia Artalejo (WLC), Shelley Bannister (Justice Studies/Women‘s and Gender Studies), David Rutschman (Mathematics), Zachary Schiffman (History), and Venetia Stifler (Music and Dance). The College is proud to report that Ana Fraiman, (Chemistry) was the recipient of the 2016 Audrey Reynolds Distinguished Teaching Award. One of the finalists of this award, Dan Milsky (Philosophy), is a College of Arts and Sciences faculty member. Likewise, Saba Ayman-Nolley (Psychology) has won the 2015-16 Janet Lerner Faculty Research Scholarship Award. We are also delighted that two CAS faculty members received Fulbright Scholar Awards for 2015-2016: Brandon Bisbey, (Spanish) and Kristen Over (English). Additional recognition is being given to three CAS instructors who received NEIU Instructor/Academic Support Professional/Academic Resource Professional Excellence Awards: Nikolas Hoel (History), Cheryl Park (Biology), and John Ross (Communication, Media and Theatre), as well as to Michael J. Partipilo (Geography and Environmental Studies), who was the recipient of the 2016 Civil Service Employee Excellence Award.

  • On and Off the Cliff
    The Newsletter of The Cliff Dwellers ON AND OFF THE CLIFF Volume 39, Number 2 March-April 2017 International Women’s Day-2017: Be Confident in Your Power! By Mike Deines CD’03 International Women’s Day had its roots in the labor movements at the turn of the Twentieth Century in North America and across Europe. The United Nations began celebrating IWD on March 8 during International Women’s Year in 1975, and two years later the U.N. General Assembly proclaimed a United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace to be observed by Member States in accordance with their historical and national traditions. In essence, IWD is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for social change, and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities. The Cliff Dwellers at the urging of then President Leslie Eve Moran introduced Recht CD’03 became part of IWD celebrations in 2011. The Club IWD keynote speaker Andrea Kramer. has focused on bringing together a host of interesting women to inspire and guide the next generation of young women in Chicago. To that end, again this year a group of 30 scholars from nearby high schools (Chicago Tech Academy, Jones High School, and Muchin High School) shared lunch and inspiring stories with nearly 70 women and Club members. Eve Moran CD’10 once again organized and hosted the March 8 program. The keynote address was given by Andrea Kramer, a partner in an international law firm where she was a founding member of the firm’s Diversity Committee.

  • For Immediate Release
    Ann Hickey 312/744-4306 [email protected] The City of Chicago Announces The Chicago Jazz Partnership as the Presenting Sponsor for the Chicago Jazz Festival August 28-31, 2008 The City of Chicago and new presenting sponsor, The Chicago Jazz Partnership, are proud to announce the complete schedule for the 2008 Chicago Jazz Festival. This Labor Day weekend tradition begins with a free evening concert featuring Sonny Rollins at Millennium Park’s Jay Pritzker Pavilion on August 28, moves to Grant Park for three full days of free music, August 29-31, and closes with Ornette Coleman (complete schedule below). Rollins, a GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, officially opens The Chicago Jazz Festival on August 28 at 6:30 p.m. at a new location, the world-renowned Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. Rollins is one of the last of the originals—a running mate of Miles Davis, Clifford Jordan and Max Roach, he was among the inventors of the language of Bebop. Rollins emerged from Chicago in the 1950s with a signature sound that has astounded audiences and inspired countless musicians for more than 50 years. The Chicago Jazz Festival then moves to Grant Park, August 29-31, with three stages of free music, activities and more from 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily. This year’s Artist-in-Residence is Chicago-based composer, arranger, musician and educator, Edward Wilkerson, Jr. Other headliners include Dee Dee Bridgewater, Eddie Palmieri and The Gerald Wilson Orchestra. Closing out the event on Sunday, August 31 at the Petrillo Music Shell is saxophonist/composer Ornette Coleman.

  • A Look Back on Eight Years of Progress
    MOVING CHICAGO FORWARD: A LOOK BACK ON EIGHT YEARS OF PROGRESS MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL MOVING CHICAGO FORWARD • A LOOK BACK ON EIGHT YEARS OF PROGRESS LETTER FROM THE MAYOR May 2, 2019 Dear Fellow Chicagoans, It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the people of this great city as mayor for eight years. Together, we have addressed longstanding challenges, overcome old obstacles and confronted new headwinds. At the outset of my administration, Chicago was beset by fiscal, economic and academic crises. Many thought our best days were behind us, and that the ingenuity and ability to rise to meet great challenges that had defined our city for generations was part of our past, but not our future. In response, Chicagoans came together and showed the resolve and resilience that define the character of this great city. Today, Chicago’s fiscal health is stronger than it has been in many years, with a smaller structural deficit, a larger rainy day fund, true and honest accounting of city finances, and dedicated recurring revenues for all four city pension funds. Our economic landscape is dramatically improved, with historic lows in unemployment, the highest level of jobs per-capita in the city in over five decades, and a record amount of corporate relocations and foreign direct investment.
