During the past biennium, we reinforced that reputation and made important investments in Levin’s future. It was a time of transition: confirming a new dean, welcoming new faculty, bidding farewell to colleagues and friends and adjusting to the loss of funding from the Ohio Urban University Program (UUP). It was a time of growth: greeting new students, expanding use of technology through our Website, and developing new programs. It was a time of re-focusing on our core mission: working with state, local and national policy makers on a better future for America’s cities. from Even while facing difficult economic times, we experienced several successes and held to our central purpose: changing America’s cities one graduate at a time. We were pleased to confer degrees upon nearly 400 students to enable them to move our communities — and our nation — forward. We also remained true to our commitment to support thought leaders and provide sound research that spurs public discussion and action. And we are expanding this aspect of the college’s life by adding three new faculty in the fall of 2011, with specializations in economic development, community development and public administration. the We welcome your comments on our work, your ideas about advancing national thought leadership right here at home, your participation as a mentor for students and your support in the days ahead.
