"Wins and losses fade, but relationships with people, particularly the students I have been able to mentor, have provided me with memories that will last a lifetime," Parry says.
Prior to joining CSU, Parry spent 16 years as the athletic director at Butler University, during which time the Bulldogs co-hosted two NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and won five Horizon League McCafferty Trophies. Parry’s efforts also built the foundation that ultimately led to the school’s men’s basketball team reaching the NCAA title game in 2010 and 2011. Previously, Parry was the athletic director for 11 years at Brown University where he oversaw the planning, funding and building of a $7 million student recreation center and a $9 million intercollegiate athletic complex.
A native of Marcellus, N.Y., Parry attended Brown University, where he served as co-captain of the football team while also earning varsity letters in basketball and lacrosse. He holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Brown and a master's in business administration from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

“My own background as an adult learner made me very empathetic to the people I worked with at Wright Patterson and at the university, and I really became interested in how adult learning differed from more traditional education methods as well as how to make it better,” Hansman adds. “I went back to school, ultimately completed my doctorate in adult and community education and decided to make this my life’s work.”
Hansman has taught at CSU for 19 years and is currently director of the Master’s of Education in Health Professions Education program. She previously served as program coordinator of the Master’s of Education in Adult Learning and Development program and as interim chair of the Department of Counseling, Administration, Supervision and Adult Learning. Hansman is also the author or editor of three books, including Educational Leadership and Organizational Management: Linking Theories to Practice, released in fall 2016. As a researcher she is best known for her work linking mentoring, learning and development and contextual issues, and her monograph, Critical Perspectives on Mentoring: Trends & Issues, is considered required reading in the field.
“Jazz music has provided an avenue for an ongoing conversation about race and ethnicity that Jewish musicians have contributed to and gained inspiration from,” Hersch adds. “By better understanding how Jews have used jazz we can gain more knowledge about the evolution of the Jewish experience in America and the ways music can serve as a vehicle for ethnic dialogue.”
The book is part of Routledge Press’ Transnational Studies in Jazz series and can be purchased online at https://www.amazon.com/Jews-Jazz-Improvising-Charles-Hersch/dp/1138195790.

“At a time when Ohio’s public universities play such an important role in preparing students to achieve their full potential, driving economic growth and supporting a strong democracy, support for our universities has been significantly impacted by the effects of the Great Recession,” noted Berkman. “Continued progress on raising education attainment levels and creating economic opportunity will require a continued partnership with state officials to enhance investment in and support for higher education. The pay-off will be a brighter, more prosperous future for Ohio.”

The Cubs last won the World Series in 1908, at the spot that now houses the UIC College of Medicine. The ballpark was called West Side Grounds and was the Cubs’ home from 1893 to 1915. The Indians last won the World Series in 1948 and the city of Cleveland suffered a 52-year championship drought which was finally snapped when the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA title in June.
Dr. Bond has served as dean of the College of Sciences and Health Professions since 2011 and was previously professor and chair of the Department of Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

“At the core of everything we do at CSU is our philosophy of Engaged Learning, which extends our classrooms into the city itself,” Dr. Berkman added. “Engaged Learning prepares our students to succeed in their chosen professions by combining higher education and hands-on experience through co-ops, internships and other real-world opportunities.”
Work has also included engagements between St. Vincent Charity and faculty and researchers in CSU’s Colleges of Engineering and Sciences and Health Professions, the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and the School of Nursing. St. Vincent Charity is a teaching site for CSU’s joint medical degree program with Northeast Ohio Medical University, which is dedicated to training a more diverse group of health-care professionals to meet the unique health-care needs of urban neighborhoods.

We’ll have basketball-themed cupcakes, mini Gatorade bottles, a DJ and lots more. In short, it’s going to be another great celebration of our Cavaliers before they tip off their 2016-17 season and receive their championship rings.

Roediger teaches graduate workshops on educational technology at Lake Erie College. She is also a regular presenter at area educational technology conferences. As a Network Regional Leader for the Ohio Department of Education, she helps schools integrate Ohio’s Science and Technology Learning Standards.
Roediger earned a B.A. in chemistry from Hiram College and a M.Ed. from CSU. She is a National Board Certified Teacher in adolescent and young adult science and holds a Chemistry 7–12 Permanent Certificate and Lead Professional Educator license in the state of Ohio.
He currently coordinates overall legislative strategy, including developing policy proposals and leading education campaigns that further the ACLU’s mission. This includes advocating for reforms that will better protect civil liberties, voting rights and the rights of prisoners and the accused, among many other issues.
“This position allows me to utilize my passion for social activism to directly impact the laws governing society and make things better for all members of our community,” Brickner adds.
While he focuses most of his time today on directing the ACLU’s vision for policy and advocacy, Brickner still assists in campaign initiatives and had a lead role in overseeing the ACLU’s efforts during the 2016 Republican National Convention to protect free speech and the rights of protesters. This included helping to staff the organization’s “war room” where he and colleagues monitored protests as they developed, and the police’s response, to insure that speech was not being repressed.
“Free speech and public safety are not opposing values. Keeping people safe is an important and admirable goal, but we cannot allow fear to sacrifice our most precious right to express our political beliefs,” Brickner notes.

Applications were evaluated by a panel of reviewers representing other universities and regional and national partners, including the Association of University Research Parks, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization and the Kauffman Foundation. Scoring was based on a range of criteria emphasizing universities’ development of their economic engagement enterprise, their planning efforts around economic engagement, strategic communications around these efforts, and participation in encouraging economic engagement among peer institutions.

Hutchison has also remained highly committed to promoting the arts as a community resource, a passion that was enhanced during her time on campus by CSU dance professor Lynn Deering, who remains a friend and mentor. She currently leads a cultural exchange between U.S. and Cuban artists and will be taking a group of musicians and dancers there in May of 2017 for the Guarapachanga Music Festival in Pinar Del Rio.
Hutchison says that her father wanted her to get a business degree and was uneasy when she decided to major in anthropology and dance in college.
“Now that I am a pretty successful businesswoman he thinks it worked out ok,” she jokes.
