PRESIDENTS’ COLUMN

MIPA stalwarts pass torch to new leadership I Julia Satterthwaite 2012-2013 President Rochester HS

’m sitting here wondering how on God’s green earth I came to be president of MIPA. I blame Cheryl Pell.

She roped me in more than eight years ago with her charm and motherly instincts. She got me into summer adviser courses, which would prove to be much more useful than most of the college courses I took. She gave me a job in the MIPA office and introduced me to journalism advisers who would serve as mentors as I began the arduous task of figuring out how to run a newspaper. She wrote me a recommendation letter that helped secure my job as an English and journalism teacher at Rochester High School, where I am starting the seventh year of my teaching career.

In sum, any of the success that I’ve experienced has been mostly Cheryl’s fault.

Then there’s Betsy Rau. I had the pleasure of taking two adviser courses with Betsy, goddess of the scholastic newsroom and MIPA’s long-time summer workshop director. In addition to teaching me how to run a newspaper, Betsy taught me about the importance of bonding with others. It was during a summer advising course with Betsy that a group of MIPA folks got to experience a memorable night of karaoke at Champps.

I also have fond memories of attending Think Tanks at Betsy’s cottage (minus the dead things on the wall — those things creeped me out), boat rides on Betsy’s pontoon and bonfires out on Betsy’s lake. She knows how to party.

In all seriousness, though, Betsy saw something in the punk college version of me that I didn’t know was there. She cultivated that. She gave me a job teaching at the summer workshop, where I could rub elbows with the best journalism educators from around the country. She pushed me to be the best.

Finally, I blame my husband, Rod Satterthwaite (who I got to know teaching at the summer journalism workshop — which was also Betsy’s and Cheryl’s fault).

Anyone who knows Rod knows that he’s just plain awesome. He’s funny. He’s intelligent. He’s gentle.

Rod has a way of inspiring students to do great things with his soft, yet commanding presence. It is amazing to witness.

For this, he’s earned numerous awards, including most recently the Dow Jones Newspaper Fund Distinguished Adviser of the Year, which he’ll receive in San Antonio at the JEA/NSPA Fall Convention.

While many journalism teachers don’t get to collaborate with colleagues on a regular basis because they’re the only person in their building who does what they do, I get to learn from Rod every day at the dinner table. It was also Rod who talked me into running for first vice president of MIPA. “It’s easy,” he said. “You’ll learn how to be president for two years, then take over. It’s mostly planning agendas and stuff. I’ll help you.”

Little did I know when I ran for first vice president back in 2010 that we’d be welcoming Micah Robert into the world on March 22, 2011.

Little did I know that I’d be taking a one-year leave from my teaching position for the 2011-2012 school year and we’d be welcoming Jonah Elliott into the world on June 7, 2012. Little did I know that Cheryl Pell and Betsy Rau and Lynn Strause (MIPA’s yearbook chair) and Julie Price (MIPA’s newspaper chair) would all retire from MIPA in one fell swoop.

Um, OK. What do I do now?

Well, here’s the plan. Some pretty cool folks will be filling the shoes of the amazing women who have retired: Jeremy Steele, Chad Sanders, C.E. Sikkenga, Pam Bunka and Erica Kincannon. Yeah, you all are now the “veterans” (read: old) the rest of us will be counting on. Also, there’s a great batch of young, spunky advisers who are stepping up to the plate: the Jeremy Whitings, Jesse McLeans and Sara-Beth Badalamentes of MIPA. I’m going to rely on these people to help get us through the next few years of transition. And I’m going to rely on you.

“Wait, me?” you’re probably thinking.

Yes, you.

If I can do this, you all have things to contribute too. Speak at the Fall Conference.

Submit lessons to our Common Core wiki. Run for a position on the board. Help out on judging day.

Attend a national convention. Come to adviser day at the summer workshop.

Do something. You’ll be glad you did.

At one point in their lives, Cheryl, Betsy and Rod all wondered if they were good enough to step up and be leaders. But people believed in them, and they paid it forward by believing in me.

And here I am: adviser of a Spartan-winning publication, president of MIPA and mother to the most beautiful children in the universe (Jude and Dylan Wilson, Kate Whiting and Francis Badalamente can all be tied for second).

Julia Satterthwaite is the newspaper adviser at Rochester HS. Reach her at julia.satterthwaite@ gmail.com.

I’m going to rely on these people to help get us through the next few years of transition.

And I’m going to rely on you.

Pell steps down after 25 years of promoting scholastic journalism

By Anya Rath

C

heryl Pell is rarely the focus of attention. For the past 25 years, she’s largely been behind the scenes of the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association, making sure everything runs smoothly.

But those who worked with her say Pell was the person who kept MIPA focused on its mission: supporting student journalism.

“Cheryl positioned MIPA as the leading scholastic press association in the country,” said former MSU School of Journalism Director Stan Soffin, who hired Pell in summer 1987 to run MIPA. “I was delighted for her success and the success she brought to MIPA and the J-School. She was exactly the right person for the job.”

In May, Pell retired from MIPA, although she maintains ties with the organization as the J-School’s scholastic journalism course coordinator.

MIPA at MSU Soffin wooed MIPA from its home at Central Michigan University in 1982 — one of his first acts as J-School director. Within a few years he set out to hire the organization’s first full-time executive director. Pell was his pick.

She had spent more than 11 years as a high school teacher, including as the adviser of a student newspaper. She left when she was pressured to only run positive content in the paper.

“I sensed the passion stored up in her — a passion for scholastic journalism, a passion for teaching, and a passion for the First Amendment rights of high school students,” Soffin said.

Pell turned that passion into a career.

Under Pell’s leadership MIPA added new

programming and its membership grew. The organization added a fall how-to conference and individual contests for yearbook. Michigan became one of the first states to have a strong video awards program. And MIPA’s Summer Workshop, which started with 45 students the first year, is now a draw for students from throughout the region. Nearly 400 students attended this summer’s workshop.

“Cheryl is MIPA,” said Betsy Rau, who retired in 2011 after serving as MIPA’s summer workshop director for 18 years. “She turned an organization into a person. She listened, problem-solved, fired up, educated and inspired advisers, students and friends.

She added college classes for advisers, built the 6 ■ October 2012

organization to its current size, sponsored mid-winter retreats, Up North workshops and so much more.”

A national leader Pell has received numerous honors for her work, including the National Scholastic Press Association Pioneer Award, AEJMC Scholastic Journalism Teacher of the Year, Journalism Education Association’s Medal of Merit, Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s James F. Paschal Award and MIPA’s John V. Field Award. In 2007, she was inducted into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.

“No one will forget Cheryl Pell. I can tell you that,” Rau said. “She has saved publications from being eliminated, helped advisers keep their jobs and made MIPA a nationally known force. High school journalism in Michigan flourished due to her inspiration and care giving.”

But for Pell, it’s never been about accolades for herself. Her focus, she said, has always been on making experiences for students and advisers to learn and grow.

‘Good things will happen’ “I loved to see students get excited about covering stories in their newspapers, yearbooks and broadcast programs,” she said. “The awards conference in the spring was always a highlight — to see students reaping the benefits of their hard work that year is really meaningful to me. Those awards can mean so much to students and to their teachers and parents as well. It’s as though we are validating their choice to be on their publication staff and their choice to push themselves to do good work.”

She’s continuing a piece of that work. Pell remains on the School of Journalism’s faculty, where she coordinates courses for journalism advisers, including its journalism education master’s program.

She said she is looking forward to the next chapter in MIPA’s history.

But Pell isn’t likely to be written out of that chapter, said Jeremy Steele, a MIPA and MSU alumnus who was hired as MIPA’s new executive director. He said he hopes she’ll be a frequent speaker at MIPA events and she remains an adviser as the organization transitions to new leadership.

“Thank goodness Cheryl’s office is right across the hall,” Steele said. “Like so many people who have come through MIPA, I feel like I’ve grown up with Cheryl as a mentor and I’m lucky that she’s right here. No one loves student journalism more than she does. She’s a tough act to follow.”

Soffin, who was also part of the search committee to replace Pell, said he never regretted his decision back in 1987 to hire her.

“Cheryl is living proof that if you work hard, good things will happen, and good things happened to MIPA, to the J-School and to Cheryl,” he said. “MIPA will certainly miss her, but because she will remain on the J-School faculty, current and future journalism majors will continue to enjoy the excitement of learning she brings to her classroom.”

WHAT’S HAPPENING

Q&A with MIPA’s new executive director Jeremy Steele steps in for Cheryl Pell

Photo by Cheryl Pell

Jeremy Steele was named MIPA’s executive director.

When MIPA executive director Cheryl Pell retired this spring, there were some big shoes to fill. After a national search, MIPA and the Michigan State University School of Journalism turned to an alumnus of both organizations, Jeremy Steele.

Steele is an award-winning journalist who has also worked in newspapers and public relations.

He’s a member of the Society of Professional Journalists, the nation’s largest organization of journalists, where he served on the national board and continues to be a local chapter leader.

He’s been a speaker at MIPA conferences and a contest judge. He’s also a graduate of the MIPA’s Summer Workshop and was a member of MIPA’s 1998 Student Journalist Staff.

He graduated with bachelor’s in

journalism from MSU in 2003.

Steele, who began transitioning into his new role in May, was interviewed by another new face at MIPA, conferences and workshops assistant Kelsey Parkinson. Parkinson is a MSU journalism freshman from Novi.

Kelsey Parkinson: What drew you to the position at MIPA? Jeremy Steele: Ever since I got started with journalism in high school I’ve been involved with MIPA. When I became a professional journalist, I still came back and would help with judging day and did some sessions at conferences. So I’ve always been involved with and been a supporter of what MIPA does. In a lot of ways, this job at MIPA is kind of a perfect fit and a dream job for me. It’s everything that I love to do all wrapped up into one job.

KP: What are you looking forward to most being in this position?

JS: I love to be around people who are excited about journalism.

And I think from what I’ve found you don’t find anybody who’s more

excited to do journalism and to be a journalist than student journalists.

I’m really looking forward to being around all of that positive energy, and to be able to hopefully help some of those students to reach their goals.

KP: What are some goals for your first year at MIPA? JS: For the first year, my focus is to just learn about the organization, learn about how it works, listen to teachers and to students about what they need from us and really just get a feel for everything that the job takes. For now, I’m just very much in a learning mode. And also hopefully maintaining the really strong organization that Cheryl [Pell] built over 25 years.

KP: What do you like to do in your free time?

JS: I don’t have free time. People in journalism don’t have free time.

I’m busy with MIPA, I teach two classes in the school of journalism (at Michigan State University). I have an old house that constantly needs work.

But like other people, I just like to sit back and take a break now and then.

Dexter High School adviser Rod Satterthwaite, who serves on the MIPA board as special projects chair, and Carmel (Ind.) High School adviser Jim Streisel, who is a MIPA Summer Workshop instructor, were named Distinguished Advisers by Dow Jones News Fund.

The fund annually recognizes one national Journalism Teacher of the Year and and four Distinguished Advisers as part of its program to recognize outstanding journalism educators.
