This fall, new students at Roosevelt hail from more than 40 U.S. states. Undergraduate majors with the largest enrollment increases at the University are psychology, journalism, elementary education and English. These are normally majors pursued by traditional-aged 18 to 24-year-old students. Roosevelt’s enrollment increases have been achieved across the board this fall.

7 CITIZENSHIP IN THE 21ST CENTURY

On the eve of the presidential election in 1936, my grandfather, Franklin Roosevelt, gave one of his famous “fireside chats” to the American people. In that address, he talked about what it meant to be an American citizen.

“People do not become good citizens by mandate,” he said. “They become good citizens by the exercise of their citizenship and by the discussions, the reading, the campaign give-and-take which helps them make up their minds on how to exercise that citizenship.”

The highest and most complex task for members of my family Boeing has its headquarters in Chicago and it conducts business was how to be the best citizens we could.

After all, politics is about how good citizen, and to get each person saying, “What does it mean to we choose the governments that manage our communities, and if me?” And, then, helping them implement the good ideas that so many we abdicate that responsibility and don’t get involved in politics, of them have. we leave the future of our society to people who don’t share our As a trustee of Roosevelt University, I know firsthand how the values.

9 Continued from previous page nizations such as the Mansﬁ eld Institute for Social Justice and Transformation, Center for New Deal Studies and St. Clair Drake Center for African and African American Studies, Roosevelt provides avenues for students to explore social issues that affect our society. I truly believe my grandparents’ legacy lives on through those students of Roosevelt University who are committed to practicing the University’s social justice mission. As my grandfather pointed out, “Society needs con- stant vigilance and the interest of individual men and women.” Those values embody the soul of Roosevelt University. If we put our minds to it, human beings can solve practically any problem. We just have to keep trying. That is very much in the spirit of Franklin Roosevelt and the way he governed. He believed that if we know what the problem is, we can develop solutions until the problem is solved. “Sometimes men wonder what they will receive for what they are giving in the service of democracy. The reward of that effort,” he said, “is to feel that they have been a part of great things that they have helped to build, that they have had their share in the great battles of their generation.” I know that a brighter future for this generation and the next is within our grasp. Our democracy, as my grandfather said, is not perfect. Progress comes from our collective experiences, from the lessons we impart to our children to the way we treat our neighbors. In the end, it is really up to each of us. All of us, acting individually or as members of a company, university or government, can make enormous positive contributions to our communities. My family’s legacy has been more public than those of many other people, but everyone’s commitment is essential if we are to thrive as a global society.

11 BY LAURA JANOTA There’s love and marriage, yin and yang, two hands together, one heart. And then there’s Roosevelt University and the Lakeview Elementary School in Hoffman Estates, Ill., united in purpose and the perfect match, particularly when it comes to training prospective teachers how to be successful. No one knows that better, perhaps, than Roosevelt alumna and Lakeview reading specialist Karmen Coleman (BA, ’01; MA, ’06). Coleman, who always knew she wanted to be a teacher, did her very ﬁrst classroom observation as a Roosevelt student at Lakeview. To earn her bachelor’s degree, she also completed her student teaching at Lakeview. Immediately after that, she was hired at the K-6 school as an instruc- tional aide, moved into a teaching position, and for the next six years taught mainly second grade there. While teaching, she decided to return at night to Roosevelt for her master’s degree in language and literacy. With the advanced diploma in hand, Coleman is now a full-time reading specialist at Lakeview. What’s more, she’s already thinking about pursuing her next goal — a doctorate in educational leadership at Roosevelt, a degree that will prepare her for a future career as a school administrator. And, if and when she decides to move forward with her professional development studies, Coleman, like other teachers at Lakeview, will be eligible for vouchers that are available through a professional development agreement between Roosevelt and Lakeview to help pay the way. “Roosevelt prepared me well for teaching, and I don’t think I would be where I am today without this partnership,” she said. To be sure, Coleman is not alone in expressing that sentiment, as nearly one ﬁfth of Lakeview’s teaching staff has graduated from Roosevelt.

12 ROOSEVELT REVIEW FALL 2008 “What I learned at Roosevelt is prac- ticed here at Lakeview,” said Debbie Pickup (BA, ’00), who was also a student teacher at Lakeview, was then hired, and is now starting her sixth year teaching a combined, third- and-fourth-grade class at the school. The Roosevelt-Lakeview relationship began at a District 54 elementary school, the Michael Collins Elementary School in Schaumburg, where Margaret Policastro, professor of education at Roosevelt, and Terry Baranowski, then principal of Collins, first discussed and hammered out ways the two institutions could help one another. For Roosevelt, it was to become one of many formal partnerships that the College of Education would establish with elementary schools in Chicago’s northwest suburbs and in the city of Chicago. “In higher education, we can’t afford to be disconnected from what’s going on in the real world, and that means being out there in the schools and working actively with parents, teachers and children,” said Sharon Grant, associate professor of education and chair of the College of Education’s Department of Teaching and Learning. Over the years, Roosevelt has had a great working relationship with a number of schools in Schaumburg District 54. However, the Collins partnership became quite significant, for when Baranowski was named principal of Lakeview in 1996, he brought the partnership with him and began working in earnest with the University to make changes that would raise reading scores at Lakeview. At the time, Barbara Dress, a 19-year adjunct instructor who trains reading special- ists and adult career-changers in Roosevelt’s College of Education, was hired as a con- .BSJB'BFSCFS ."

Slavitt, vice president for government relations and university outreach, who previously was an executive in corporate philanthropy at JPMorgan Chase and chief operating officer of the Bank One Foundation. “There’s real dedication here,” said Slavitt. “Things like this don’t come about by accident,” she said of the increasing number of women in senior executive roles at Roosevelt. “It takes leadership to make change.” Indeed, at President Chuck Middleton’s direction, Roosevelt’s hiring efforts have been aimed at “attracting a national pool of the best and brightest people, and they have to be a diverse group,” said Gretchen Van Natta, vice president of human resources and also an Executive Council member. “This means each of these pools has to include women,” she added. “And if they don’t, we won’t go forward.” In fact, 10 of 14 supervisors hired by Roosevelt in 2008 were female. In 2007, seven of 11 supervisors hired at the University were women, according to Van Natta.

Trubatch, who has more than 30 years’ experience in higher education, including 14 years in research and grants administration, was hired in 2005 to increase revenues from external grants. Friel and Stadler, who also come from higher education institutions, were hired earlier this year. “I’ve been in industry and I’ve been in academia,” said Friel. “And I’ve never worked in a place like this where it seems that gender is not an issue. It’s just refreshing,” she said. Stadler, who had been an academic leader with three universities before joining Roosevelt, said, “There are a lot of highly qualified women out there, and the argument that they’re not ready for leadership roles doesn’t hold water anymore.” “I believe that universities are beginning to see that female under- graduates, who are the majority of students on many campuses today, need more women as their role models,” she added. “And I think that universities are beginning to break out of historic patterns, and are ready to give qualified women a chance,” she said.

Eichner, an entrepreneur since he was 19 years old, is chairman emeritus of AAR Corp., an aviation and defense products company he started while still a student at Roosevelt in 1951. Now Eichner is helping talented and deserving students attend Roosevelt University by providing scholarships through the Ira and Barbara Eichner Scholarship Fund. Mirja Lorenz, who is studying to be a teacher of English and German literature, received one of his awards this semester, and it is making a difference in her life. “I simply would not have been able to continue my education without my scholarship from Mr. Eichner,” said the resident of Fox River Grove, Ill., who is a writer for the University’s student newspaper the Torch.

A Message from the VP for Institutional Advancement Dear Alumni and Friends: The excitement this fall with very strong enrollments at the Chicago and Schaumburg campuses of Roosevelt is palpable and invigorating for our students, faculty and staff. Program quality and the experiences that students have while attending our University are clearly having a continued positive effect on the steady growth that we have experienced for the last few years. Classes are buzzing with the sounds of new students from around the United States and 25 countries. Our full-time student numbers continue to grow dramatically, while our commitment to the education of part-time students and non-traditional students remains strong and vital to the fabric of Roosevelt student life.

The last fi scal year was a record for fi nancial support from alumni and friends, and we are grateful for the confi dence that you have shown in us, even while economic conditions have been diffi cult for many in the past several months. This edition of the Roosevelt Review lists the Honor Roll of our donors who have helped to make this year special in our history, including the many people who have made the deci- sion to include Roosevelt in their estate plans. Mr. Paul Fabricant’s story, which PATRICK M. WOODS appears on the inside front cover, is particularly gratifying, because he chose to help his alma mater to continue its traditions with a generous estate gift after many Vice President for years of steady support. Institutional Advancement and Chief Advancement Offi cer We have seen large numbers of our alumni at events on campus and around the country. These gatherings are aimed at bringing old friends back together and introducing different generations of Roosevelt graduates to each other to share their mutual and individual experiences at the University. Our annual boat cruise on Lake Michigan in August continues to be one of our most popular outings, and we invite you all to come to the campus for a visit or to attend an outstanding event at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University, one of Chicago’s architectural gems.

At this time of year, we have many things for which we are all thankful, not the least of which is your continued and growing support. Roosevelt University has some great plans for the future that I will share more about in future editions of the Roosevelt Review. Your support, along with an emergent and vital student body, are making the continuation of Roosevelt’s legacy possible.

I wish you all the happiest of holidays, and a healthy and successful New Year.

Sincerely,

Patrick M. Woods Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Chief Advancement Ofﬁ cer

A Message FROM THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Alumni: At this year’s graduation ceremony in December, the Class of 1958 will walk along with the Class of 2008 in a special Golden Alumni presentation.

The recognition of Golden Alumni has been a longtime tradition at Roosevelt University. In years past, alumni celebrating 50 years since graduation traveled from across the country to participate in an annual luncheon that recognized Golden Alumni as well as Alumni Award recipients. Going forward, the University will incorporate both momen- tous celebrations in its spring Commencement ceremony to provide a more meaningful experience for alumni and graduating students alike.

This new alumni tradition will become a permanent part of the spring graduation ceremony. In the summer 2008 Roosevelt Review we listed all Golden Alumni along with photos from that era. We will continue to include this section each spring in the alumni magazine.

In the future, we will bring other classes together to celebrate special alumni mile- stones and provide unique opportunities for alumni to reconnect with Roosevelt MICHI PEÑA (MBA, ’78) University. President, Roosevelt University Sincerely, Alumni Association
