Giving Hispanics a Taste of Home as They Pursue Their

AMERICAN DREAM Story by Mary Ann Cooper

W

e are becoming a nation of entrepreneurs. The rise of candidates seeking MBA degrees is a testament to that.

Many of those candidates are minorities who aren’t exactly feeling the love from corporate America despite the institution of diversity programs in these same companies. These MBA candidates are following a long tradition of minorities and immigrants for more than a century who have opened their own businesses – from managing neighborhood grocery stores to running local companies providing goods and services to the community. Then as today, the odds against them were steep, but the rewards were enormous. This month, we salute a company that was founded by a Hispanic American 80 years ago and is still a family-owned business breaking new ground and expanding his vision to give Hispanics a taste of home as they pursue their American dream.

Prudencio Unanue, founder of Goya Foods, Inc., was born in northern Spain in 1886. When both the Spanish and the European economies became depressed, Unanue immigrated at the age of 17 to San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, in search of 6 • November 2016

better employment opportunities and opened a small food distribution business. In 1918, he moved to New York City to enroll in the Albany Business School and in 1921, returned to San Lorenzo to marry Carolina Casal de Valdés whom he had met in Puerto Rico and whose parents had also emigrated from Spain.

In 1928, the Unanues moved to Brooklyn, and in 1935, Prudencio opened Unanue, Inc. on Duane Street in lower Manhattan. The next year, Unanue purchased the rights to the name, Goya, a brand of sardines he imported from Morocco.

The transaction cost him only a dollar. From that humble beginning and transaction an empire grew creating the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States.

Now, it is run by Prudencio’s grandson, Bob, who is the company’s president and CEO, and so Goya Foods remains very much a family affair. Bob’s brother, Peter, is the company’s executive vice president.

Both men sat down with HO to talk about the rich history of the company and its commitment to authenticity through international outreach and targeted distribution. “In 1949, our grandfather and our uncles put

up a factory in Puerto Rico to make pasteles to make gandules to do products from Puerto Rico that were indigenous and authentic,” Bob explained.

Not surprisingly, the Unanue brothers have developed encyclopedic knowledge of what they call their primary cuisine. “Our product line and the bulk of our sales are in rice and beans, the dynamic duo of nutrition,” Bob said, but the infinite variation of these products makes it tricky to manage a product line.

“Gandules come from India but are also from Caribbean—mainly from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico but not Cuba. Cubans are linked with black beans. Every group, even the Northern part of Puerto Rico, will eat red kidney beans and pink beans. Others will use more pinto beans. For an island 110 by 35 [miles], you have different cuisines around the island. It’s the same in Mexico. You have the tropical, the Yuccatan, you have the desert, and each has a different cuisine,” Bob explained. “We go to Peru often. We go to food shows. We’re constantly in front of countries and cuisines to learn about what people’s eating habits are and go to the source.”

“We’ve set up scholarship programs, which has helped employees all along.

We are now starting to get thank you cards from these scholarship recipients. They say, ‘Thank you for your generosity over the last four years. I would not have achieved my goal without your support.’

That is also part of this country’s legacy.”

—Bob Unanue

Peter Unanue says that the diversity of their product line is matched by the people employed by their country. “Employees are diverse. As we develop new products, we have someone from Peru or Mexico in on the taste test,” Peter said, “because they might know better than we do about what’s authentic.”

Around the world, Goya has more than 2,400 different products, which have been carefully developed and selected. “We go neighborhood by neighborhood. We do the demographics to see where our food goes.

The neighborhoods change constantly, so that’s why we go about www.HispanicOutlook.com • 7

our business by way of direct door delivery,” Peter explained. “Instead of going to warehouses, we have salesmen visiting individual stores.

That enables us to have the best mix of products neighborhood by neighborhood.”

Bob and Peter’s passion for the business goes back to their childhood when they both started to work for Goya Foods. “In 1964 when I was 10, I used to go to work with my dad 8 • November 2016

and grandfather on Saturdays,” Bob said. “I went in one Saturday, and he gave me 50 cents. Over Christmas break, I worked a 40-hour week in December 1964. I had to pack the olives and olive oil, and I remember my first job was packaging the calendars with a flamenco dancer on the cover. I stuffed them into envelopes and came home with a few thousand paper cuts. I made 20 bucks that week; 50 cents an hour. Ever since

then, I worked summers or winters in the factory to loading trucks to delivering products. It didn’t bother me to work at that age. I was in love with the company and the people.

Work was fun; I didn’t consider it a chore.”

Peter was only nine when their father, passed away but got into the family business as soon as he could.

“I was younger, so by the time I was of working age, Bob was married and working with the company fulltime. Every summer, I’d work in a different area starting in clerical and in the factory. I’d work some summers in Puerto Rico with mechanics on the manufacturing line. I learned how machines worked and how to fix them. It was a really neat practical education on business.”

While his grandfather broke new ground in 1936, Bob Unanue sees groundbreaking progress ahead for Goya. “We’re really just beginning.

You have to recognize you can’t do it yourself. What we’ve done is bring in all these people whether it’s for tech or product development or nutrition. We do our own advertising.

We do our own manufacturing. We are vertically integrated. We make our own cans and bottles. And we do our own packaging. The beauty is you have a lot of people who have such pride in what the company has become. We’ve set up scholarship programs, which has helped employees all along. We are now starting to get thank you cards from these scholarship recipients. They say, ‘Thank you for your generosity over the last four years. I would not have achieved my goal without your support.’ That is also part of this country’s legacy.” •

29TH ANNUAL EZRA JACK KEATS

Mini-Grant Program Call for Proposals Story courtesy of the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation

A

s Hispanic enrollment increases at our colleges and universities, the question remains of how prepared are those enrolling to succeed and complete a degree. For this reason a look back to their elementary and high school training is a key indicator of progress. The complication is that many schools are experiencing unprecedented cutbacks in vital and innovative programs that could affect future learning. That’s why the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation’s contribution to encourage the love of reading by way of its Mini-grant program is so noteworthy.

The Foundation, which fosters children’s love of reading and creative expression in our diverse culture, celebrates the 29th year of its Mini-grant program with a call for proposals. Approximately 60 grants of up to $500 each will be awarded to qualifying teachers and librarians at public schools and libraries across the country. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2017, and decisions will be emailed to all applicants in early May, allowing educators to plan for the next academic year.

“For almost 30 years it has been our joy to fund programs that support teachers and librarians who reach beyond the standard curriculum—creating programs that inspire and encourage students in a creative and cooperative context,” said Deborah Pope, Executive Director of the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation. “It is essential that educators have resources to create these special programs, and this year, we’ve revamped our application to make it even easier for them to apply for funding.”

Last year, in honor of Keats’ centenary, teachers and librarians were invited to design programs that celebrated some aspect of the late author-illustrator’s books and his vision of childhood.

Here is just one example of the Ezra Jack Keats Mini-grant program promoting and celebrating bilingual education in our diverse world:

Empowering High School Students Through Posters Celebrating Accomplished Latinos Frankfort, Indiana -- Members of the C.R.A.S.H. (Community Raising & Starting Heroes) Club in Franklin, Indiana, a group of high school students that helps raise awareness around issues that affect the Latino community, worked with graduate students from Purdue University to create posters shining a spotlight on distinguished Latinos, past and present.

The EJK Mini-Grant made it possible for the C.R.A.S.H. Club to purchase large poster boards, print the information that students researched, laminate the posters and create displays in the five schools that comprise the Community Schools of Frankfort, reaching nearly 3,000 students.

“Even though our community has made great strides over the years, being bi-

lingual is still a stigma here, and as a result, many of our kids are losing their ability to speak Spanish and embrace their culture.

For quite a while, we had wanted to make these posters to provide positive role models for our younger students. An EJK Minigrant made it possible,” said Esmeralda Cruz, Health and Human Sciences Educator and co-founder of the C.R.A.S.H Club, along with Jeanna Johnson, ELL teacher at Frankfort High School. “And the program sparked discussion among older students, educators and parents too. I’ll see a parent look at the displayed posters and say to their child, for example, ‘When I was in school, I knew about Benito Juarez or Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez,’… and from there, a wonderful dialogue begins.”

Creating the posters was an eightmonth process. First, the C.R.A.S.H. Club created a list of 50 accomplished Latino professionals to profile. Then the students were each assigned to research one person and to write and translate a summary. Drafts were reviewed several times in English and Spanish. The posters, which included an image or photograph, the summary in both languages and the questions created by students and teachers were laminated and placed in eye-catching displays. •

(Community Raising & Starting Heroes) Club at the Community Schools of Frankfort, Indiana, puts the finishing touches on her poster on Vincent Fernandez, a Mexican singer, actor and film producer heralded for five decades as the greatest living singer in Mexico. This poster is one of 50 created with the help of a Mini-Grant from the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation. The project is designed to empower Latino elementary students to learn about and take pride in their heritage. RIGHT: High school students in the C.R.A.S.H. Club of the Community Schools of Frankfort, Indiana, proudly show off their posters of 50 Latino professionals, past and present. An Ezra Jack Keats Mini-grant made it possible for the Club to produce and and display the posters, which included well-researched summaries of each subject’s achievements in both English and Spanish.

TAKING COLLEGE SELECTION to the Next Level

or years Hispanic students have been hearing the same advice from their teachers and mentors: get a college education. They are led to believe that it doesn’t matter where you go or how you get there, just go! But it’s not that simple. As more and more Hispanics go to college, there are some voices suggesting that Hispanics go to the best possible college that will accept them, not just any college. One of those voices

14 • November 2016

belongs to James Cotto, Senior Vice President - Wealth Advisor for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.

“I do believe that it’s time to take that advice to the next level,” said Cotto in an exclusive interview with HO. “And by doing that I really do believe that we really should be telling our Hispanic children that they really do need to aspire and basically go to the best school that will accept them.”

While that might sound like counterintuitive advice for parents and guidance counselors who have been struggling to make sure that those in their care get accept into college and complete their degrees while navigating the very expensive financial challenges that comes with a commitment to higher education, Cotto believes that getting into the best school possible actually improves the chances for degree com-

“I think life is a never-ending learning process.

I think you should wake up today humbled and realize every day you can learn something new to make your life better.”

—James Cotto

pletion and career success. “The data is just very, very compelling. If they apply to the most selective school, there’s just a much higher likelihood that they are going to graduate from a four-year school. Graduate rates jump significantly from the most selective schools.”

Cotto believes there has never been a better time to improve the odds for Latino students. “In terms of demographics, we are the fastest growing demographic, and we are the workforce of America and the hottest commodity globally. What the world is going to look for in the not so distant future is highly educated talented individuals that can help support the elderly population.

I think it would be foolish not to take advantage of that, but the only way we can take advantage of that is through education.”

Cotto says Hispanics need to pay attention to the percentages when making a choice about which college to attend. “Sixty-eight percent of Latinos will graduate if they go to the most selective schools. All that means is going to a school that has an acceptance rate of 49 percent or less, which probably amounts to about 500 schools out of the 5,000 that are out there. So if you go to a school where there is a 50 percent or above acceptance rate, the chance that you will complete your studies drops from 68 percent to 47 percent, a big drop. In other words, go to a school that is in the top 10 percent of the schools in the country for four-year schools; there is roughly a two-thirds chance you’ll successfully graduate. If you go to two-year school and hope to transfer to a bigger school, it’s 23

percent. So the lesson is that if you want your child to graduate from a four-year school, send them to a four-year school. And you want to up his chances, send him to the best one you can. I spend a lot of time in education working on getting literacy program in schools, and I am always interested in perfecting the narrative.”

Being of Puerto Rican descent, Cotto personally relates to what goes into the choice Hispanic parents make when choosing higher education options with their children.

“My parents said you should go to college. They did not go to college.

One left school in ninth grade, and the other left school in tenth or eleventh grade. They knew their life was hard, and it could quite possibly have been easier if they had had a college education.” www.HispanicOutlook.com • 15

As a young Hispanic man, he had no idea that his choice of college is more than just choosing a course of study and a geographic location. “I could have gone to a more prestigious school,” he explained, “but they didn’t know that made a difference. I could have gone to a school that had better alumni. That’s a thing that I don’t think a lot of Latinos understand. It’s not just the education; it’s the small classes; it’s the more one-on-one you have with the professors; it’s the potential for having many like-minded individuals that share your goals and dreams and have your drive. Then, of course, there’s the alumni base.

They’re now becoming part of a club that is very prestigious with an alumni base that’s very loyal that creates opportunities for them for their career in the future.”

He has seen how being a part of “the club” has enhanced the lives and careers of Hispanics. “I belong to many organizations, and I see many Latinos around the country who have transcended beyond themselves, their ancestry and their environment to become exactly what they always dreamed of being. I think that’s absolutely amazing.”

Translating those kinds of connections into corporate success is essential but sometimes tricky. “I think within the corporate landscape it’s a challenge,” Cotto said, “because they’re not accessing the diversity groups and the Latino groups. And I think without doing that and without learning how to network and collaborate internally within the organization in which you’re working or maybe pioneering a group in the organization you’re working, it becomes very challenging because you

do need sponsors. You need to be able to show up, do the work and be professional and be excellent at what you do, but you also need to self-promote yourself. But it’s also great to have a network of people that you can rely on that are also saying very favorable things about who you are. Creating a network of sponsors to help you further whatever your goals are within the organization.”

One of the reasons Cotto has found a home at Morgan Stanley is their diversity policy. “I think we have a tremendously robust diversity organization in all facets – African-American, Latino, Asian – within Morgan

Stanley – incredibly robust. They do promote it, but you know God helps them who help themselves. You need to really roll up your sleeves and be committed to it. What I find within many diversity groups is that people will discuss the issues and challenges and problem, but you have to take the necessary steps and own it. I don’t think as Latinos you can sit there and say, ‘well, we’re not being invited to the show, we’re not being invited to the party, we’re not being invited to the event.’ On the contrary, I’m being invited to all of those, here. I really need to take the next step and get involved. The door is open for those

who want to do it. It’s really about effort. Putting in the effort and time.”

Are there other companies following Morgan Stanley’s example? Cotto said, “I can’t speak for every corporate structure, but I do see in some of the Fortune 500 companies that diversity is a very big issue with them. Many companies are now trying to diversify the VP level, the senior VP level and the managing director level. I think within the group Latinos need to be working together. It doesn’t mean that I’m just promoting somebody.

It means if I identify an opportunity, and I know of a quality individual that also happens to be Latino, I will

support them and identify the opportunity and suggest they go after it.”

Once part of the corporate structure Hispanics should do whatever is necessary to assimilate without compromising their cultural identity.

“I think you need to dress appropriately, communicate appropriately, understand not only correct English, but proper business speak,” Cotto explained. “You should know what the basic code of conduct laid out by your company is and how to do that. And if you’re struggling with that, you have to make the effort to get mentored, find someone who is at the senior level, and if he or she happens to

be Latino, reach out to them. People do it to me all the time. What I think is that a lot of the Latinos should understand as they enter the workforce is that the Hispanic consumer is going to be a big driver of the American economy. Companies are looking to take advantage of the exploding impact the Hispanic consumer has.

When you’re a young person becoming part of the corporate world, you need to join the right groups, you need to seek out a mentor and you need to be able to stay true to who you are both culturally and ethically.

I do think, however, you have to assimilate in the sense that it’s just an appropriate code of conduct.”

There’s much to learn about navigating the corporate environment and even for a seasoned pro like Cotto there’s always more to absorb and ways to grow. “I think life is a never-ending learning process. I think you should wake up today humbled and realize every day you can learn something new to make your life better.”

It’s a philosophy that Cotto shares with his children. “I make it very simple with my children. I say ‘Monday morning get up, suit up, show up and never give up.’ If you explain to them what the result will be and you put in the effort up front, I think as a community the American Latino will see more people in executive positions and more business owners both male and female. You know what? It’s going to benefit America. We’re going to be largest voter group in the case of spending dollars. It’s in America’s interests to have more Hispanics better educated in better positions, so they have more disposable income to keep the economy growing.” • www.HispanicOutlook.com • 17

EDUCATION MAJORS TAKE NOTE Don’t Lose Sight of the Importance of Self-Esteem Story compiled by Mary Ann Cooper

E

ducation majors are understandably concerned about the means and methods utilized to encourage student success. What colleges might or might not teach is that all the newest techniques to ensure learning don’t mean much if a student does not have a positive self-image. The self-esteem of an individual is a complicated and nuanced issue for many young people – especially those of color. The norms for appearance and behavior have long been established by a society dominated by whites. Subtle differences in something simple like hair, for instance, can create doubts about self-worth that can scar an otherwise confident and strong individual and affect anyone’s potential for a happy and successful life.

Author Sulma Arzu-Brown has penned a bilingual book entitled “BAD HAIR DOES NOT EXIST!/¡PELO MALO NO EXISTE!” that at first glance appears to be for kids. But make no mistake about it.

While it might it look like a children’s book, its message is mature and adult. In fact, the book covers a wide demographic in terms of readership. It can be enjoyed and understood by a child but wouldn’t be inappropriate to include in the syllabus of a college general education class. One reason is that it is based on the author’s own personal experiences. Although the book has a lighthearted quality, it’s inspiration came from something very personal and negative for Arzu-Brown.

Born in Honduras, she moved to New York City at six years old and with her parents’ encouragement eventually attended Herbert Lehman College of the City University of New York.

“The book is even more effective when I am able to deliver the message behind it,” Arzu-Brown said. “While in college, I was on a quest to find myself. That is when I took on a project about my Garifuna culture, just to learn more about me. It was at that point when classmate labeled my type of hair as ‘malo/bad.’ She had no idea what

18 • November 2016

I was going through nor the reality of my challenges as a black Latina woman. I have to admit, if the young lady and I had someone like me to come deliver the message of “BAD HAIR DOES NOT EXIST” - the class discussion would have never escalated to an argument. So please, I ask with all the respect in my heart not to ‘judge a book by its cover’ or font size.”

Featuring illustrations by Isidra Sabio of girls and women with a variety of different hair types and styles, Arzu-Brown’s book seeks to empower by demonstrating that hair is not bad and not something to feel self-conscious about.

“We don’t have bad hair because bad hair does not exist!/ ¡Pero pelo malo, no existe!” the book reads using an illustration of two girls, one with curly hair and one with straight hair, to help demonstrate its point.

“There are all types of hair. And all hair is GOOD!/Hay toda clase de pelo. ¡Y todo pelo es BUENO!” “Raised in a predominately Spanish community in the Bronx, I encountered a series of events in which the term ‘pelo malo’ (meaning bad hair) was used too loosely and irresponsibly to describe the natural (not chemically treated) hair of Black girls and girls of Afro decent without thinking about the damage it inflicts on their self-esteem,” she wrote.

Although she went on to successfully earn her Bachelor of Arts degree, her experi-

ences from her youth and in particular with her classmate stayed with her. Eventually, she married her best friend from college, Maurice Brown, and had two daughters, Suleni Tisani and Bella-Victoria.

“When I became a mom, it was important for me to instill in my daughters the values of love, beauty, intelligence, empowerment and consideration for the feelings of others,” she wrote. “I became indignant with the term ‘pelo malo’ because it was now being used against my daughters, contrary to all the values I taught at home.”

On her book’s website, Arzu-Brown wrote about two separate occasions where she dealt with “pelo malo” and its impact on her daughters. During one of them a caregiver tried to use a flat iron on her then oneyear-old daughter’s hair and burned her ear.

In the other, a different caregiver suggested that she have her youngest daughter’s hair chemically straightened and used the term “pelo malo” in front of the little girl.

“Bella-Victoria was just three years old when this happened,” Arzu-Brown wrote. “I told the caregiver that, ‘BAD HAIR DOES NOT EXIST’ and respectfully provided alternative terminology to describe the various types of hair. Additionally, I requested she not use the term ‘bad hair’ in front of my daughter or any child for that matter.”

In the end there were many such incidences that motivated Arzu-Brown to take action. She taught her oldest daughter how to describe her hair in positive terms and stand up for herself and her sister. She also decided to stop chemically straightening her own hair and let it grown out naturally as a way to encourage her daughters to be confident and love themselves just the way they are. The results were immediate with Suleni Tisani saying “mommy, we finally look alike” the day that she cut off her chemically treated hair. It was not long after that that she used the techniques she taught her oldest daughter and wrote “BAD HAIR DOES NOT EXIST!/¡PELO MALO NO EXISTE!” “I…made the decision to share these tools,” she wrote, “with you dear reader and all girls, so they too would be equipped to educate and protect one another.”

LEBRON JAMES FOUNDATION Opens Institute to Aid College Students Written by Tom Withers, Ap Sports Writer

A

KRON, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James isn’t just helping kids afford college. He wants them to stay there and leave with diplomas.

The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar, whose foundation announced a partnership with the University of Akron last year to pay for four years of tuition for inner-city public high school graduates who meet certain criteria, has established an institute at the school to assist students.

The I PROMISE Institute will provide resources to support students pursuing four-year degrees. The institute will be constructed in a space inside InfoCision Stadium on campus. It will provide around-the-clock support to students.

“When we first started this program, I wanted my kids to graduate from high school,” James said. “But the more we grow as a foundation, the more we find can be done to give our kids the best chance to be successful.

We don’t just want our kids to get to college. We want them to graduate from college. And we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to help them do that.”

The first class for the program is currently in eighth grade and will be enrolling at Akron in 2021. James’ foundation has established a board of academics from across the country to establish a curriculum for the institute and determine the best ways to help urban youth stay in school.

LeBron James is also part of the NBA’s #LeanInTogether program which provides men with the tools to share responsibilities equally in the office with our colleagues and at home with our families.

“If we want to be ready for our students when they get to campus in a few short years, the work needs to start now,” said Michele Campbell, the foundation’s executive director. “For many of our kids, they are the first in their families to attend college, so we want to create a familiar, encouraging environment where they feel safe and supported.”

Even before the institute is open to college students, it will serve as a center for high school students and their parents as they prepare for the college experience.

James reiterated his commitment to helping others. “My foundation is probably, besides my family, the No. 1 thing in my life,” he said. “Being able to change kids and families, giving them an opportunity to see better days, we strive to do that every single day. And I get emails and I talked to my kids weekly about their progression in elementary school all the way to the kids in middle school, high school and the kids that are going to be going to college soon. So, that’s a huge thing for me.”

The LeBron James Family Foundation (LJFF) announced it has established the I PROMISE Institute (IPI) on The University of Akron (UA) campus as a resource for its students who earn the guaranteed four-year tuition and general service fees scholarship to The University. •

LOOKING FORWARD TO LJFF IN 2021

W

ith LJFF’s first class of Akron I PROMISE Network students now in eighth grade, the I PROMISE Institute is currently conducting research on resources and support programs around the country to determine the best tactics and procedures to have in place by the time its students arrive on The University of Akron campus in 2021. LJFF has established a governing board of academics from across the country to help oversee this research that will guide the IPI’s curriculum and interventions as it gets to the root of urban youth retention. Officially titled the “I PROMISE Institute Bureau,” the Bureau’s founding members include: Dr. Brandi Hephner LaBanc – Dr. Hephner LaBanc is the vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of Mississippi where she provides leadership and direction for all aspects of the Division of Student Affairs while also serving as a faculty member in the higher education program in the department of leadership and counselor education. Dr. Hephner LaBanc earned her bachelor’s degree in accounting at the University of Akron, her master’s degree in higher education administration and student personnel at Kent State University, and her doctoral degree at Northern Illinois University in adult and higher education.

Prior to Ole Miss, Dr. Hephner LaBanc served Northern Illinois University as their associate vice president in the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management as well as the assistant vice president for planning and operations. A respected scholar and consultant in the field of campus crisis management, her work and research also focuses on preparation of student affairs professionals and transition issues for graduate students.

Paul A. Herold – After more than 36 years of professional service at The University of Akron, Paul Herold recently retired from UA as special assistant to the president and secretary of the board of trustees. Since 2010, Herold was involved in researching, drafting and implementing board- and institutional-level policies and policy updates. From 1996 through 2009, he oversaw the university’s communication, public relations and marketing efforts and served on the University’s leadership team. He also represented UA to a variety of professional and community constituencies during his tenure. Herold earned both his master’s degree in higher education and bachelor’s degree in communication from The University of Akron. He will begin conducting research, site visits and other critical groundwork for the IPI immediately.

Brian O. Hemphill, Ph.D. – As the president of Radford University in Virginia, Dr. Brian Hemphill is a champion for positive change and a true advocate of shared governance. President Hemphill represents Radford on the national scale with active involvement in the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), including the Committee on Policies and Purpose, and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU). Hemphill earned a Ph.D. in higher education administration and policy studies from the University of Iowa, a Master of Science degree in journalism and mass communication from Iowa State University of Science and Technology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in organizational communication from Saint Augustine’s University.

Hemphill is also a published author with his writings covering top-

ics related to gun violence and threat preparedness on college campuses; emerging financial concerns affecting the collegiate sphere; STEM and economic-related issues pertaining to education; and a myriad of additional scholarly perspectives pertinent to the higher education environment.

“If we want to be ready for our students when they get to campus in a few short years, the work needs to start now,” said Michele Campbell, Executive Director of the LeBron James Family Foundation. “For many of our kids, they are the first in their families to attend college, so we want to create a familiar, encouraging environment where they feel safe and supported. We believe we have the academics and the experts in place to ensure the I PROMISE Institute will be a valuable and impactful resource for our students.”

In the near term, the I PROMISE Institute will be a home-base for all future high school Akron I PROMISE Network students, acclimating them to life on a college campus while offering programming for students, parents and their entire families about the logistics and other learnings of the college experience. The creation of the I PROMISE Institute is being funded in part by Sprite®, which has worked with LeBron James since 2003.

LJFF’s Wheels for Education and Akron I PROMISE Network programs were created as a way to raise graduation rates in Akron over the long term.

With the addition of the I PROMISE Institute, that commitment continues through college graduation rates for LJFF’s inner-city students at The University of Akron.

MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY

ontclair State University (MSU) has been making great strides to further develop their School of Communication and Media to reflect the exploding media industrial complex that it has become. Its Center for Cooperative Media is just one example of the way this university is embracing a high tech future. Another example is the hands-on community outreach done by the School of Communication and Media to inspire and encourage young budding journalists from minority neighbor-

hoods to pursue careers in communications.

Earlier this year, Stefanie Murray was named director of the Center for Cooperative Media at MSU. She now is in charge of the Center that brings together over 150 news outlets throughout New Jersey in what is the nation’s only formally organized statewide network of media entities. The Center is based within Montclair State’s School of Communication and Media.

An award-winning journalist and editor, Murray was the recipient

of an Associated Press News Writing Award in 2008 (public service) and in 2010 (breaking news) during her time as a reporter in Michigan. Most recently, Murray was the vice president/news and executive editor of The Tennessean and TN Media.

Murray, who has a Master of Science degree in journalism from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Science degree in broadcasting and journalism from Central Michigan University, is a welcome addition to MSU. “She brings to

the Center for Cooperative Media significant experience in the areas of local news reporting, information gathering, digital transformation, organizational development and business strategy,” said Merrill Brown, director of the School of Communication and Media. “Over the course of the past three years, the Center has played a key leadership role in growing the New Jersey news and information ecosystems. We’re confident that Stefanie will now lead the Center in new and exciting directions as we continue to focus on how we and our partners can best serve the people of New Jersey, and we further explore how this innovative model might be successfully applied to other media markets.”

In addition to its various ongoing training, research and innovation initiatives, the Center for Cooperative Media is focused on statewide collaborative enterprise journalism projects. It recently partnered with various New Jersey news outlets to create “Dirty Little Secrets,” a reporting project highlighting the lingering impacts of New Jersey’s toxic legacy. The Center is currently developing “In the Shadow of Liberty,” a collaborative project dedicated to indepth reporting on issues surrounding immigration.

A great example of journalism projects from MSU’s School of Communication and Media occurred this past summer when the school held its first Journalism Boot Camp to give New Jersey minority middle and high school students a chance to become a journalist for three days. The students were not only able to get some real-life experiences to practice their interview-

ing schools, they also got a taste of college life as residents of the MSU dormitories while completing the program.

The Montclair State University Summer Journalism Workshop for High School Students is a new program by the School of Communication and Media (SCM) and provides an all-expense-paid journalism and college preparation program for high school students. Students have the chance to engage in various forms of communication media and learn reporting skills across multiple platforms. This program targets high-performing North Jersey high school journalists and is designed to prepare students for college and potential fields of study within journalism and communications.

Students receive hands-on training and exposure to technology, cameras and other storytelling tools of the trade as they actively participate in filmmaking, broadcasting and multi-platform journalism.

They learn from SCM faculty and invited working professionals about scripting, casting, photographing and editing, and ultimately presenting their projects. By encouraging high-performing students from diverse backgrounds to pursue careers in journalism, this program fosters deeper relationships and expanded civic engagement with neighboring towns, including Newark, Paterson, the Oranges and Montclair.

One of the camp’s highlights was the chance for students to write about a historical first: the Professional Baseball team the New Jersey Jackals versus the Cuban National Baseball Team at Yogi Berra Stadium. This marks the first time a Cu-

The Cuban National Team, which has won three Olympic gold medals and 25 World Baseball Championships, is the same team that played the Tampa Bay Rays in an exhibition last March following President Obama’s historic trip to Havana. The team’s visit to MSU was one of only three stops it made in the United States.

Reporting on the Cuban National Team’s visit fits into a growing concentration that MSU’s School of Communication and Media has been developing over the past few years.

SECOND LADIES CAN INFLUENCE EDUCATION POLICY “Every day, President Obama hears about community college challenges because my wife tells me about them when she comes home from work, and I tell the president the next day,” Vice President Joe Biden often has said. It’s clear that Dr. Jill Biden has set a new standard for second ladies of the United States: to have a career and to drive progress in that field thru pillow talk that goes directly to POTUS. It could be that whoever wins the Presidential election November 8 (still unknown at time of writing), the new second lady will be a similar voice for education. Karen Pence, the wife of the Republican VP candidate Mike Pence, was an elementary school teacher for many years. She is particularly interested in art as therapy. In Indiana she founded the First Lady’s Charitable Foundation that instituted art therapy for cancer patients as well as focused on arts education and child literacy in Indiana schools. Democratic VP candidate’s wife Anne Holton Kaine was Virginia’s Secretary of Education, focusing on gender inequality issues including encouraging women to major in STEM fields and to take on leaderships roles, especially in politics—handy if she is to be the first second lady under the first woman U.S. President. As former governors’ wives, both the second lady candidates know how to work in the political world to get things done; nowadays they are expected to be activists—especially in education policy.

CAN THE CONGRESSIONAL ED COM BE A WELCOME BIPARTISAN MODEL? 24 • November 2016

On July 11, what some people have claimed was an increasing impossibility, actually happened. The Congressional Education Committee passed five education bills, all with bipartisan cosponsors and support. Three were particularly aimed at Hispanic college students. Students at Hispanic-Serving Institutions pursuing careers as physicians, dentists or other health care professionals would be helped by “The Accessing Higher Education Opportunities Act” (H.R. 5529) sponsored by Nevada Republican Joe Heck and Texas Democrat Ruben Hinojosa. “The Enhanced Financial Counseling Act” (H.R. 3179), sponsored by Reps. Brett Guthrie (R-KY) and Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), would expand the timing, frequency and content of federal aid advising. And the “Simplifying the Application for Student Aid Act” (H.R. 5528), cosponsored by Reps. Heck and Jared Polis (D-CO), would allow the use of income data from two years prior when applying for financial aid. In a Congress as torn by stubborn partisanship as this one has been, the cooperation came as a surprise to some. But then, it did happen in the home stretch of the 2016 elections season where any sign of positive Congressional actions was a relief for the anxious electorate. This time the Senate may just follow.

DREAMERS INSPIRE SEN. DURBIN TO KEEP TRYING “When I first proposed in 2001 the idea of granting a pathway to citizenship for DREAMers, my good friend from the other side of the aisle Utah Senator Orin Hatch came to my office and said “Hey Dick, you just stole my idea,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) told a packed audience of

law students and immigration specialists at Georgetown Law School in early September. “So we decided to co-sponsor the DREAM Act together. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX), Sen. Ted Kennedy and President George W. Bush all supported the idea. The hearing was to be Sept. 12, 2001. And then 9/11 happened. The immigration debate suddenly became one of national security,” the Senator sighed. Now 16 years later he is still trying. “DREAMers are my inspiration,” he said. “They are the reason I keep running for re-election.”

THE LATINO VOTE IS DIVERSIFYING. THAT’S GOOD NEWS AND MAYBE BAD The good news is that finally even the media has discovered during the last weeks of the election that the Latino electorate is rich with diversity. Some are finally reporting on the glorious mix of national, cultural, religious, racial and socio-economic backgrounds that are American Latinos. The bad news? It’s complicated and increasingly clear that Latinos do not respond as a bloc to issues and appeals, even in Spanish. Forty-five percent of the Latino electorate are millennials. Marriage between Latinos and Asians is the largest intermarriage trend in America. Latinos are going to diverse colleges and becoming middle class in every state of the union. As the number of Americans with Hispanic heritage increases so will their diversity. The future?

Will the Latino vote go the way of the once powerful Italian American vote?— too diverse to count as a bloc?” •

PRIMING THE PUMP Written by Miquela Rivera, Ph.D “Help! I’m texting, and I can’t stop!”

S

tudents can be “all thumbs”—not clumsy in the conventional sense but with head down, eyes on the cell phone, thumbs flying. Digital technology has become the nemesis of some teachers, parents and friends. Many teens and young adults find themselves compelled to be online or using social media continuously yet making it distracting and disruptive, especially in the classroom, during study time or when interacting with others.

The limits and guidelines for internet and social media use are best set by parents when children first begin using technology. (I knew Latino parents who bought their four-year-old daughter an iPad “because she wanted one,” and they thought it would help her fit in with others, only to have her step on and destroy it within a week of purchase. Common sense still matters, even with technology). Teens and young adults, however, find themselves addicted to their phones, unable to curb the compulsion to check apps, the internet and other social media for even a few minutes.

Parents of younger Hispanic children are wise to master technology and set some basic ground rules for its use: parents have complete access to the child’s use of the computer or phone; dangerous or inappropriate sites or video games are inaccessible; electronic or “screen” time is limited; and all electronic devices are off between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. (and to make sure, children are often required to turn in their devices to their parents during those times to assure that there is no sneak usage). Since relationships in Latino families are primary, a child focusing on electronics during personal family time would be consid-

ered rude and inappropriate. Prohibiting cell phone access or use during meals or other face-to-face interactions helps encourage traditional values of respect and connection with family.

If someone minimizes or denies their struggle to curb iPhone use, look for indicators.

If digital relationships—through games, dating sites, chatrooms or other venues—are more common than in vivo face-to-face relationships, deeper personal connections lag. Sexting and fantasy sites can be highly addictive and dangerous. Online behavioral addictions such as gambling, gaming, auction bidding, online trading or shopping can interfere with everyday functioning.

Online activity can release brain chemicals that soothe or stimulate, similar to drugs, thus their addictive power.

While those internet activities or social media connections can quell social anxiety or dissipate fear of relationships, they ultimately worsen them. And while digital technology is initially designed to make work easier, it can enslave the person who is always “on,” answering phone or text messages around the clock.

The blue light on the screen of a digital device disrupts sleep because of its wavelength. And those who struggle with attention problems will find the problem worsening—a challenge for students and teachers alike at any academic level. A digital addiction can result in social isolation, heightened self-absorption, decreased self-esteem (the lives of others always look better on Facebook even if postings are exaggerated or false), incomplete tasks, lying to cover up usage and ongoing anxiety about what is being transmitted.

For those in the throes of digital compulsion, instituting some guidelines—whether self-imposed or set by others—can help.

Limit times when the device is within reach or on. Class time, library or study hours, mealtimes and during sleep are the basics. Arrange digital settings where notifications are saved instead of immediate and allow notifications, emails and texts to be checked only twoto three-times a day for a limited amount of time (30 minutes is typically reasonable check-in period, if time permits).

If a person copes by going online, but online use is now a problem, consider other ways of handling anxiety, depression or fear. Exercise, a support group that meets in person and engagement in a hobby or other cause can reduce an addictive online dependence.

Completely stopping social media or other online use is typically not reasonable or feasible because students use computers for their work. Whether reading online, researching a project or writing an assignment, computer use makes sense. Cutting down digital time is more reasonable than total shutdown.

If someone needs help cutting down, try limiting use to legitimate study time only and otherwise go completely without a digital connection—with help from others. •

This is an unprecedented opportunity for an innovative, creative and entrepreneurial leader with a passion for research and education.

The University of Michigan is pursuing major changes to its current environment and sustainability structure to strengthen U-M’s position as a leader in interdisciplinary research and education that addresses global challenges in this area. Central to this new structure is a new school, to be named later this year, that addresses global sustainability challenges at the intersection of the environment and society through research, teaching and civic engagement.

U-M’s expansive breadth and depth of expertise uniquely position the University to be at the forefront of an integrated, collaborative, innovative and dynamic set of programs that will magnify the impact of faculty, staff and student work in the environment and sustainability areas. While significant planning is being done over the coming year, the inaugural dean will be empowered to bring his or her vision to this transition process and will be charged with leading and shaping the new school over the coming years.

The new school will replace the current School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE), build on its strengths, have a broader mission, and be structured to engage faculty from across the university.

It will have porous boundaries so it can provide leadership and work collaboratively with other schools, institutes and programs at the university to develop solutions to the most challenging global sustainability issues.

The school will educate and train students on environmental and sustainability concerns at all levels; and the University is committed to ensuring that the new school has sufficient resources to achieve its bold vision of interdisciplinary education, research and service.

The Dean is the chief academic and executive officer of the School and reports directly to the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Dean provides leadership and is responsible for all matters relating to the administration of the School, including academic programs, personnel, budgets, alumni engagement, government and industry relations, and fundraising. Working collaboratively with faculty and staff to advance the School’s mission, the Dean represents the School within the University and provides leadership for a wide range of external constituencies.

The Dean of the new school will also be responsible for jointly overseeing the undergraduate Program in the Environment with the Dean of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, supporting the Program’s mission of providing students with a liberal arts education in sustainability and the environment.

Qualifications include: • A distinguished research and teaching record commensurate with an appointment as a full professor in the School, • Demonstrated ability to work collegially and cooperatively by reaching across school/college/unit boundaries to form positive, productive relationships, • Experience in and a commitment to enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion, • The ability to lead and manage via influence and collaboration, • The ability to consider issues and perspectives of multiple stakeholders and a wide range of disciplines, • Demonstrated leadership and administrative experience, • Excellent communication skills, • An understanding of budgeting processes and financial acumen, • An aptitude for fundraising, • And entrepreneurial skills.
