Loyola NEWS FOR FACULTY AND STAFF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO | JAN/FEB 2009

I N S I D E

On December 18, Dean Don Heider, PhD, and his crew officially moved into the new School of Communication (SOC) building located at 51 E. Pearson, next to Lewis Towers and across from Baumhart Hall on the Water Tower Campus.

The school occupies the first, second, and lower levels of The Clare. Classrooms, offices, and other facilities are located within the building, and a state-of-the-art convergence media lab that will be housed at ground level to attract pass-ersby is planned.

“We’re in a great location—right in the heart of Chicago’s media and business market,” says associate dean Hannah Rockwell, PhD. “Our students have oppor-tunities here that would not be available to them in a small college town.”

The sleek, new building complements the faculty’s forward-thinking, 21st-cen-tury mission and vision. All classrooms are electronically controlled, and computer labs are fully stocked with Apple technol-ogy. Best of all, students and faculty now share a central space that will give them a better sense of community.

The new amenities were unveiled to the public at an open house on January 21. In March, the school will host a more formal event for community leaders, media personalities, and alumni.

To continue to expand and enhance academic programs, recruit the best fac-ulty to teach and conduct research, and improve campus living and study spaces, the University’s Board of Trustees has approved an increase of 4.0 percent, effective fall 2009, in undergraduate tuition costs for the 2009–2010 academic year.

Other costs are rising as well, including room rates, which will increase by an average of 3.0 percent, and meal plans, which will increase by an average of 5.5 percent. Full-time

student activity fees also will increase by 3.9 percent.

In a letter to undergrads, President Garanzini explained the need for the increases, saying they are “necessary to meet our expenses and obligations and to support addi-tional financial aid for students, particularly important in this time of economic hardship and uncertainty.”

In addition to undergrad tuition, graduate costs will increase as well.

A team of faculty, staff, and students is formulating the initial outline of a strategic plan that will set Loyola’s course for the next five years. Following the 2004–2009 plan, which focused on increasing student enrollment and enhancing campus life, among other goals, the 2009–2014 stra-tegic plan will help University leadership hone in on a specific set of priorities.

“There are many good ideas, but it’s important that we identify a set of critical tasks where we can devote a substantial portion of our time and energy,” says John Frendreis, PhD, professor of political sci-ence and planning consultant to the Office of the President. “A strategic plan allows us to distinguish between what we might do and what we should do.”

A broad outline will take shape in February, at which time members of the Strategic Planning Committee will look for more input and reflection from the wider University community. The goal is to have the strategic plan finished before being submitted for final approval at the Board of Trustees meeting in June.

Loyola’s Center for Urban Environmental Research and Policy has appointed James Eames, PhD, as its new sustainability director. Eames, currently an instructor in Loyola’s Department of Natural Science, will be responsible for directing Loyola’s sus-tainability initiatives on both lakeside campuses and working to incorporate sustainability into the curriculum. A former business owner and political consultant, Eames’s background includes

more than 25 years of experience in the environmental field.More than a year ago, the University’s administration, along with Nancy

Tuchman, PhD, director of CUERP, developed a sustainability task force to review the University’s use of natural resources and make recommendations on how to reduce its carbon footprint. A key recommendation of the task force was to invest in the hiring of a knowledgeable sustainability director to lead Loyola’s short-term and long-term environmental efforts. Eames officially began his post as sustainability director on January 1, 2009.

The Undergraduate Admission office recently launched Next Stop: Loyola, a Web portal for newly admitted students. The portal is designed to give freshmen and transfer students access to important information before arriving at Loyola and to help them get familiar with the University, the city of Chicago, and their future classmates.

The site helps students familiarize themselves with residence life, financial aid, new student orientation, and other vital parts of the first-year experience. Students can also ask questions and interact with current students and faculty through chats and threaded discussions. The Office of First Year Experience will also use Next Stop extensively, preparing and supporting students as they begin their Loyola studies. In addition, the portal’s social networking feature will create a sense of community by helping students connect with other admitted students from around the country.

Loyola University Chicago’s School of Business Administration has appointed Clifford J. Shultz II, PhD, as its Kellstadt Chair in Marketing. Shultz comes by way of Arizona State University, where he served as professor and Marley Foundation chair.

As the new Kellstadt chair, Shultz will focus on his expertise in globalization, recovering economies, international and cross-cultural marketing, consumer behavior, and macromarketing and public policy.

“There are enormous opportunities at Loyola,” says Shultz. “This University is well positioned to advance its global leadership in a number of ways, and I look forward to working with the Loyola team to benefit students, the University, our local part-ners in business and government, and the global stakeholders of marketing.”

In addition to his research and teaching activities, he will introduce the Journal of Macromarketing and the International Society of Markets and Development, for which he serves as editor and president, respectively. Both are committed to scholarship at the interface of marketing and societal well-being, and complement Loyola’s Jesuit mission.

How did you end up at Loyola?

It’s been serendipitous! First, I’m a Loyola alum and

a Damen Award winner (this is how I returned to

LUC as an employee). I met Dean Abol Jalilvand at

the Founders’ Dinner, learned about the assistant

dean opportunity, and the rest is history.

What goals do you hope to accomplish as the new

assistant dean of Loyola’s business career center?

My primary goal as assistant dean is to enhance

the existing academic internship program, making

it a more monitored process and creating more

interaction between employers and students. As

part of this enhanced program, we’re introducing

a “career portfolio” that will allow students to learn

how to use this concept as part of their career

management. In addition, we will be piloting a

“mentorship” program in the fall for School of

Business Administration (SBA) students. In the end,

and most importantly, I’m committed to helping

students understand how to manage their careers

over a lifetime.

The John Felice Rome Center has launched a newly-designed Web site featuring multime-dia components, blogs, videos, photo galleries, and live news feeds to attract prospective stu-dents. The site’s design merges the University’s clean, contemporary online template with the JFRC’s rustic, Old-World charm to complement the design of the print brochure published this past summer.

“The new site design is a seamless transi-tion between the current internal University

Web pages and this standout marketing piece aimed at prospective students,” says John Drevs, Web manager in University Marketing and Communications.

The original JFRC site remains intact, with a few borrowed elements from the new external site. The old site’s purpose is to serve students currently enrolled at the JFRC and to maintain the cohesive Web standards that allow our University to speak with one dynamic voice.

JFRC debuts recruitment Web site

As part of a summer film course, three students at the John Felice Rome Center (JFRC), Alexandra Platt, James Kilton, and Charlie Noell, spent four weeks filming a documentary about the Gypsies of Rome and the current plight of Gypsies in Italy.

The film’s inspiration came from events that occurred in Italy last May, while students were beginning their summer sessions. An assailant threw a Molotov cocktail into a Gypsy camp in Naples, Italy, and the incident unleashed a wave of anti-Gypsy sentiment across Italy.

Unbeknownst to most at the JFRC, the

largest Gypsy camp in Rome is just a short ride from the Center. While the students were brainstorming film ideas, Todd Waller, JFRC associate director of student life, suggested a visit to the camp.

“It was clear on the first day that we were not welcome,” says Noell. “The Gypsies of Monte Mario were suspicious of our intentions.” After spending more time at the camp, however, the crew began to earn the residents’ trust.

The students traveled to the camp five days a week for four weeks, interviewing residents and capturing their life. The result was Sono

Niente (I Am Nothing), one of seven films which premiered at the JFRC inaugural film festival. Sono Niente has been submitted to Cannes and several other major film festivals as well.

What is your favorite thing about working

at Loyola thus far?

In an effort to be brief, I believe in the mission

of Loyola (that’s why I attended school here), and,

under Father Garanzini’s leadership, I am very proud

to be part of this outstanding institution.

What advice do you have for Loyola students to

prepare themselves for a successful career?

My advice to students is that they need to learn

how to manage their careers, and not only when

they are transitioning from school life to working

life. They need to understand that this is a life-long

process that needs to be monitored and they need

to develop a professional network and stay con-

nected. Looking for a job is their job, and they need

to take ownership of their lives. I strongly encour-

age every SBA student to register with Career

Management Services from the day they enter

Loyola and stay connected with our department.

Giving back in a big way

The Loyola community showed its generosity during the recent holiday season by supporting more than 200 people in need through the Loyola Gives program.

The program asks Loyola students, faculty, and staff to purchase items such as clothing, toys, books, and food for distribution to Chicago-area families through the Catholic Charities Sponsor-A-Family and Toy Share programs. As in past years, Loyola departments and student groups worked together to fulfill wish lists of items for families and children.

Megan Barry, who coordinated the program with Joe Canino and Kathy O’Sullivan of the Office of the Vice President for Mission and Ministry, reported that 59 departments and student groups participated in Loyola Gives. This represents an increase over last year’s participation, despite the current uncertain economic times.

In late November, the Loyola community gathered in the Simpson Multipurpose Room to honor the winners of the 2008 Staff Recognition and Excellence awards. These fi ve awards, which are sponsored by Staff Council, honor the professional contributions and quality service of our University staff with special public ac-knowledgement for their con-tributions and exemplary work. This year’s winners include:

Two Loyola University Chicago students, Chris Davis and Jamie McArthur, were recently named winners of the “Why Chicago” Video Contest. Sponsored by the Chicago 2016 Olympic Committee, “Why Chicago” asked participants to produce videos that show why the city of Chicago should be chosen to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Davis’s and McArthur’s video received the highest number of online votes among numerous submissions. As the winners, the students were interviewed by Zoraida Sambolin on WMAQ-TV’s NBC 5 News Today, and they will also travel to Vancouver for a behind-the-scenes tour of prepa-rations for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

Taking the plunge, making a difference

On Saturday, December 6, Loyola’s Invisible Conflicts student organization, a group devoted to exposing conflicts that are often neglected by media and governments, held its annual IC Plunge fundraiser. This year approximately 60 volunteers braved the icy waters of Lake Michigan in 24° temperatures to raise money for the children of the Dwon Madiki Partnership, an organization in Uganda that assists 20 children each year by providing education mentors and creative outlets for artistic expression, and the Elimu Foundation, an organization working in the Democratic Republic of Congo to help children affected by war.

Through the generous support of friends, family, and colleagues, students raised more than $15,000.

Less than a year old, the School of Communication is already making an impact in the Chicago com-munity. In the fall, Distinguished Journalist in

Residence Don Wycliff, work-ing through the Chicago Public Schools partnership office, met with Juarez Community Academy High School administration to discuss partnership oppor-tunities between the school and Loyola. The first step in the agreement included Wycliff attending a Juarez

journalism class, where he lectured about the indus-try and took questions from students. Wycliff is also working to schedule time for the Juarez students to come to Loyola to observe a college class in person, and he has agreed to make arrangements for the students to meet with the editorial boards at the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times.

Coinciding with the SOC’s building opening is the extensive search for faculty to teach students. This spring, the school will add four additional faculty members to teach advertising/PR and new media; broadcast journalism; information architecture, new media, and cybercultural studies; and broadcast and video production. The school has already added two esteemed adjunct faculty members. Brett Chase, of Crain’s Chicago Business, will teach a course on how communication industries work, and Dave McClendon, associate editor at Chi-Town Daily News, will teach reporting and writing.

Operations

NEW STATION MANAGERAfter a lengthy search, WLUW-FM has found its new leader. Danielle Basci assumed the role of general manager of the station in January. Recently, Basci

worked in Chicago as a producer for Business Matters Radio, and prior to that, she served as an on-air host and producer in Kansas City at the local NPR affiliate KCUR-FM. She also served as station manager, host, and producer for KJHK-FM at Kansas University. Her credentials qualify her to lead WLUW as

the station prepares to make its move to the WTC this summer. “I understand the types of issues that WLUW is facing, and I’m ready for the challenge,” says Basci. “While at KJHK I managed the relationship between the university and the station, coordinated a move into a new studio, trained volunteers in all departments, and led a staff of more than 150 student volunteers.”

At Loyola, she will serve in a similar capacity, assuring that the station complies with FCC regula-tions, serving as a liaison for community members involved with the station, overseeing student involvement, and helping to develop a new chapter in WLUW’s history.
