4 • Chalkboard First of its kind: Urban Education PhD at IU School of Education at IUPUI

In May, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education approved a new Urban Education Studies PhD to be offered by the IU School of Education at IUPUI starting in fall 2012—the first doctoral degree in education to be offered entirely on the IUPUI campus. The degree, which is the only urban education doctoral program in Indiana and one of just a handful in the coun- try, focuses on preparing researchers to study schools in complex urban environments. Faculty and students in the program will conduct community- based research designed in partner- ship with P–12 schools and community organizations. “IUPUI’s PhD in urban education program is a distinctive, research- oriented degree program,” said IUPUI Chancellor Charles R. Bantz. “The interdisciplinary focus will prepare Woodrow Wilson scholars who are capable of making Fellows, (above) significant contributions to improve Eric Sprague, urban education.” chemistry, and (left) Kara Griffin, physics The program will focus research and math, speaking on the needs of high-risk students to students during and other factors that impact student an immersive learning.

Chalkboard • 27 Honor Roll School of Education supporter links his success to long relationship with professor emeritus by Doug Wilson

obert Draba, BS’68, didn’t have a sense of his future potential or what he wanted to do after high school until getting to know his 9th grade social studies teacher. RAs as a high school student, Draba experienced the impact of a teacher who believed in his or her students and, as a result, cultivated their talents and interests. And in college, he learned the value of the education he could get close to home at Indiana University. While countless people have had their lives changed by a favorite teach- er, Draba’s story is particularly special in a couple of ways. One is that he and that teacher, IU School of Education Professor Emeritus John Patrick, have continued to be important in each other’s lives throughout the 50 years since they fi rst met. Another is that Draba has made a major commitment to helping other students receive the kind of opportunity that he had at IU. Robert Draba and John Patrick In September, Draba, now a trial attorney in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., was inducted by IU three years as a teacher, being involved with students who were thirsty to President Michael McRobbie and IU Foundation President Eugene Temple learn but didn’t know where to turn to get the water,” Patrick said. “Th at into the University’s prestigious Presidents Circle, which recognizes IU’s convinced me that my life should be in education.” top philanthropic leaders who give more than $100,000.

It really up the place academically. After serving as president of the National Honor launched me in a lot of ways,” Draba said. “Although I really enjoyed my Society at Roosevelt, Patrick attended an Ivy League school, Dartmouth, studies at Th e University of Chicago and Loyola University Chicago, it was and found he was far behind most other freshmen.

He later worked as a vice president for administration and basement of his parents’ home, where he still lived. Draba was one of the associate professor of medical education at Chicago Osteopathic Health charter members of that club, which read and talked about such topics as Systems, now known as Midwestern University, and as executive director Russian history and the evolution of revolution, the origin of democracy, of the American Osteopathic Association before getting his law degree and and Greek and Roman history.

Snapshot Summer Civic Program again a success at IUPUI

The student group “Secondary Urban Educators” at the IU School of Education at IUPUI held the second annual Summer Civic Program in July. Secondary education majors spent time with teens from the Hawthorne and Concord Community Centers in Indianapolis. The students came to campus to get more information about college and participate in learning and fun activities. The IUPUI secondary educators worked with them on achieving their personal and educational goals.
