Legislators also helped secure for CSU $14.6 million in the current state capital budget. The total includes $12.7 million for much-needed improvements to labs and classrooms in Fenn Hall (formerly Stilwell Hall), home of the Washkewicz College of Engineering. In addition, CSU-connected state legislators have been instrumental in helping the University secure nearly $800,000 for internships and cooperative education, as well as ongoing funding for the Ohio Center for the Advancement of Women in Public Service in the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs. They also led the effort to approve CSU’s purchase of
the Rascal House property, site of the new health sciences building now under construction. “Through the years, CSU has been fortunate to have an extraordinarily large number of alumni and former students elected to Congress, the General Assembly and the Ohio Supreme Court,” says President Berkman. “They recognize and value the importance of CSU as an urban university, the engaged learning experience that it provides, and its key role in educating the workforce and business and civic leaders who will take this region into the future. They work hard on our behalf and we are extremely grateful.”
“I’m very glad I have been able to use my law degree in public service. My career path has been challenging and rewarding and I owe it to the foundation I received at C M LAW.” —Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor Ohio Supreme Court
