    Individualized Attention, Shared Aspirations

    ILLINOISEducating Illinois STATE 2013–2018 UNIVERSITYFISCAL YEAR 2017 PROGRESS REPORT Individualized Attention, Shared Aspirations I am pleased to present the Fiscal Year 2017 Progress Report for Illinois State University’s strategic plan, Educating Illinois 2013-2018: Individualized Attention, Shared Aspirations. The report reflects a wide array of accomplishments the University made in its fourth year of implementing the plan’s goals and strategies. Illinois State continues to thrive as a strong and stable institution in a time of budgetary uncertainty in the state of Illinois. The University community embodies its core values—Pursuit of Learn- ing and Scholarship, Individualized Attention, Diversity, Integrity, and Civic Engagement—and provides supportive and student- centered educational experiences for a high-achieving, diverse, and motivated student body. There is much to celebrate as these achievements represent just a sampling of what makes Illinois State a first-choice institution that is respected nationally. I am very proud to be part of this institution and very much appreciate the diligence, commit- ment, and collaboration of the students, faculty, and staff who made these accom- plishments possible. I look forward to the coming year as Illinois State sets its sights on a new strategic plan that will lead the University to even more success. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Illinois State University community, Larry H. Dietz President, Illinois State University INTRODUCTION Educating Illinois 2013-2018: Individualized Attention, Shared Aspirations guides Illinois State University and provides a road map for the institution through its vision, values, goals, and strategies. Over the past four years, Educating Illinois has led the University to many achievements and demonstrated Illinois State’s position as a leader and first-choice institution among students, faculty, and staff.

Origination: Cole, Joseph E. Extent: 882 linear feet Physical Location: Abstract: After the Cleveland Press newspaper ceased publication on June 17, 1982. Joseph E. Cole, its publisher, donated the "morgue" to Cleveland State University. Representing the archived editorial library, sometimes referred to as a "newspaper morgue," topics focus on the news coverage of northeastern Ohio, with national and international news stories holding a secondary level of importance.The Cleveland Press photograph collection is composed of an archive of over one million photographs. Unit ID: PH2000.000PRE Language(s) of the Materials: English History of The Cleveland Press The Cleveland Press, founded by Edward W. Scripps, began as the Penny Press on 2 Nov. 1878. A small, 4-page afternoon daily, the paper continued to prosper. Shortened to the Press in 1884, and finally the Cleveland Press in 1889, by 1903 the Press was Cleveland's leading daily newspaper. As it entered the 1920s, the Press neared 200,000 in circulation. Louis B. Seltzer became the 12th editor of the Press in 1928, and under his 38-year stewardship the Press became one of the country's most influential newspapers. Seltzer readjusted its original working-class bias into a less controversial neighborhood orientation, stressing personal contacts and promoting the slogan "The Newspaper That Serves Its Readers." In the postwar period the Press continued its public service campaigns and remained an unrivaled force in Ohio politics.

    : THE DETAILS TO DELIVER: SCOTT STRINGER’S MAYORAL PLANS Volume 8 It’s Showtime: A 25-Point Plan to Revive Arts and Culture in New York City and Build a More Equitable Future May 6, 2021 IT’S SHOWTIME: A 25-Point Plan to Revive Arts and Culture in New York City and Build a More Equitable Future EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There’s no place like New York City when it comes to arts and culture. From our world-class museums, to the bright lights of Broadway, to local DIY venues, to trailblazing artists and companies, the five boroughs represent the artistic center of the country and perhaps the world. It is where Abstract Expressionism and minimalist art, bebop, hip hop, and salsa, modern dance, modern ballet, break dancing, and voguing were born — and where every corner of every neighborhood is bustling with creativity and culture. New York City’s ecosystem of artists, educators, craftsmen, media, philanthropy -- and yes, audience members -- are unmatched anywhere in the world. And yet it is precisely this interconnected network that has been so existentially threatened by COVID-19 and the profound job losses the pandemic wrought after cultural venues were forced to shutter more than a year ago. Scott Stringer understands that New York City is all but defined by its arts and culture, and as mayor he will lead the charge to bring back the creative sector. Today, more than one year after the first Broadway stages closed their doors, the city’s cultural workers and cultural sector are still struggling and need a robust plan to not only recover, but to build a more vibrant, enriching, inclusive, diverse, STRINGER FOR MAYOR | MAY 6, 2021 2 populist, and daring cultural sector than ever before.
