Research Matters for all of us!
A
t the core of any successful academic enterprise is the development and/or enhancement of knowledge. Thus, the lifeblood of the University is research conducted by teacher-scholars whose works build on, contradict and totally diverge from canon and conventional wisdom in the various disciplines. Students benefit from the research enterprise as assistants to researchers and from the manner in which pedagogy is transformed by research. The cumulative effect of this synergy at its best, within the University, the academy-at-large and the engaged disciplines, lies at the core of social change. In this instance, social change is meant in its most broad sense to include politics, economics, science, business and well beyond. The 005- 006 President’s Annual Report provides a bird’s eye view of the multiplicity of research projects in which faculty-scholars at Chicago State University [CSU] are engaged. This abbreviated overview provides tacit insight into the transformative nature of research from the creation of a self-healing bone cement for use in knee and hip replacements to an astrophysics project that will bridge the gap between other galaxies and ours through understanding. The excitement of energizing the life of the mind in learners is an honor and a responsibility with which all those who choose this academic path are charged. Chicago State University willingly accepts this challenge to serve and exercises due diligence each day to ensure that our work results in broad steps in which our students and the many communities that we serve can follow and progress!
“We understand the basic technology . What we need to do now is learn how to both efficiently and cost-effectively produce and harness this power .�
Dr. Justin Akujieze Professor of Physics
CSU scientists and students examine fuel cell technology as an alternative energy source.
U
nder the direction of Dr. Justin Akujieze, CSU faculty and students are playing a key role in the development of an alternative energy source, fuel cell technology. Fuel cells are electrical energy- producing devices that use hydrogen and oxygen gas as fuel and produce water as their only waste product. Akujieze’s research centers on improving the efficiency of this technology. “We understand the basic technology,” stated Dr. Akujieze. “What we need to do now is learn how to both efficiently and cost-effectively produce and harness this power.” The CSU team is working in conjunction with American Science and Technology, Inc. (AST). The scientists and engineers of AST are also focused on performing basic and applied research to develop, evaluate and commercialize alternative fuels. Dr. Akujieze explained, “As new technologies enter the marketplace and the demand for power grows, we know that oil-based fuels will no longer be enough. We need to develop low-cost, pollution-free sources of energy. Fuel cells are definitely part of the answer.” Much of the research is being conducted in CSU’s new Center for Alternative Energy Technology. This center, located just outside the University campus, is a joint initiative between CSU and AST that facilitates close
working relationships between University students and AST’s scientists and engineers. “Our students are involved in many important aspects of this research,” stated Dr. Akujieze. “Undergraduates are applying the disciplines of physics, chemistry, pre-engineering and mathematics to this work.” In addition to gaining invaluable experience, some students receive tuition waivers and stipends. It is Dr. Akujieze’s hope that this relationship will encourage more collaboration between pioneering industry and CSU students. In further support of his effort to bring research opportunities to students, Dr. Akujieze is establishing an undergraduate educational program in the College of Arts & Sciences that will prepare students for careers in a new global economy that will use hydrogen as the primary energy carrier. “We will be moving into a hydrogen-based economy in the next ten years,” he predicted. “Gas stations will no longer just sell gas. They will also be fuel cell stations. In order to bolster this economy, we need a workforce that is educated and skilled in the areas of technology and engineering.” Dr. Akujieze’s work in research and teaching will undoubtedly support the evolving energy revolution. Dr. Akujieze has been teaching at Chicago State University for 16 years.

Tony Burroughs Adjunct Professor of Genealogy
Helping CSU students and others create a holistic sense of self
A
As an internationally recognized expert in African American genealogy, Tony Burroughs has been featured on several television specials including Oprah’s Roots (PBS 007); African American Lives with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (PBS 006); and The Real Family of Jesus (Discovery Channel 005). Most recently, he also served as a consultant to Reverend Al Sharpton in his effort to determine if a familial relationship existed between his descendants and those of the late U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond. Burroughs brings his expertise to the classroom as an adjunct professor of genealogy at Chicago State University. For 17 years, his teachings have inspired students to explore their individual histories and uncover family legacies. “Studying African American genealogy puts history into a personal context,” commented Burroughs. “It gives you a strong idea of not only who your ancestors were but what they had to endure.” “I believe that knowing more about one’s family history creates a more holistic sense of self,” said Burroughs. “Students develop a sense of historical perspective as well as gain important information on genetic issues related to their family’s health.” Several of his former students now lecture about African American genealogy around the country and one of his students has created video documentaries based on his family research. Burroughs’ fascination with genealogy began in 1969 when, as a student, he attended a lecture by Alex Haley -- who was then known only as the author of The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Realizing how little African Americans knew about their history, Burroughs decided to delve deeper into this field. He soon realized how black history had been systematically distorted, denied and destroyed. Determining that there were no books or other available references on African-American genealogy, Burroughs began to blaze his own trail. He eventually found information on his ancestors by searching under property transactions. The detailed listings identified the slaves that had been bought or sold, as well as the purchaser and the purchase price. Currently, Burroughs’ is doing an in-depth analysis of slave surnames. This investigation is based on his discovering that the long-held belief that most slaves were given the surname of their owners is in fact true only 15% of the time. “We need to understand why and how surnames changed,” he said. “We do know that sometimes surnames were passed down through generations. In other cases, if children had different fathers, they may have surnames different than other family members. I still have many questions that I am exploring.” He recently published the first part of this study but continues to examine over 5,000 additional case studies with plans to publish more in the near future. Burroughs’ work has led him to develop entirely new methodologies to help others trace their African American lineage. He detailed these techniques in his book, Black Roots: A Beginners Guide to Tracing the African American Family Tree (Simon & Schuster, 001). It’s now in its fourth printing and was number one on Essence Magazine’s Best Seller List.

“Astronomy offers us an important perspective on what our place in the universe truly is .�
Dr. Kim Coble Assistant Professor of Physics
CSU students reach out to active galaxies and beyond.
W
hen Dr. Kim Coble joined the faculty of Chicago State University three years ago, she brought her background in astrophysics to bear on the institution’s effort to become a part of the VERITAS Collaboration. VERITAS is a multi-million dollar National Science Foundation project focused on the study of active galaxies.
“Galaxies are large collections of stars, gas, and dust,” explained Dr. Coble, assistant professor of physics. “What makes a galaxy active is the explosive activity that occurs in the galaxy’s center. That central region is called a supermassive black hole.” This information serves as the foundation for Dr. Coble’s instruction. As part of the VERITAS project, Dr. Coble and her students are studying the light waves emitted from highly active galaxies at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. “We’re recording and measuring what are often amazing changes in the light emitted from these galaxies. These images and measurements are then sent into the VERITAS data bank,” stated Dr. Coble. CSU students are involved in almost every aspect of this work. “Over the summer, one of my undergraduate students, Chaan Thomas, participated in actually building a gamma-ray telescope at the VERITAS collaboration facility in Arizona,” Dr. Coble said. X-ray and gamma-ray observatories, like the facility in Arizona, provide unique views of the extreme conditions surrounding supermassive black holes. The overall goal of the entire project is to better understand active galaxies. Dr. Coble explained, “What we want to know is what makes certain galaxies more active than others and how they work. What we’re doing here at CSU is playing a small but important role in answering those questions.” The University of Chicago is a founding member of the VERTIAS Collaboration; the Adler Planetarium is a collaborating member; and CSU is working towards becoming an associate member. The relationship between these institutions is of significant benefit to Dr. Coble’s students because it affords them greater access to other resources and opportunity. In addition, Dr. Coble’s work with the Adler Planetarium opens the door for all CSU students to learn more about astronomy and to observe celestial objects through the Adler’s powerful telescopes. Dr. Coble concluded, “Astronomy requires that you learn things from afar. So, that can make the science seem remote and less relevant. However, I would suggest that astronomy offers us an important perspective on what our place in the universe truly is.”

Dr. LeRoy Jones II Associate Professor of Chemistry
CSU on the forefront of developing “Self-Healing” cement for more durable hip and knee replacements.
P
eople are far more active than in years past so the need for hip and knee replacement surgery is growing. In addition, as people live longer, their prosthesis must be more durable and last longer. To address this need, Dr. LeRoy Jones II, associate professor of chemistry, and his students are developing self-healing acrylic bone cement for use in replacement surgery, which could extend the life of hip and knee implants. “The bone cement currently used in prosthesis surgery begins to crack after fifteen to twenty years. This loosens the prosthesis requiring revision surgery which is usually more invasive and takes more time for the patient, now older, to recover,” stated Dr. Jones. Their research involves developing a material comprised of a liquid sealant and a catalyst. “What my students and I are trying to do is mimic the human body by creating self-healing acrylic bone cement that, like human bones, can heal itself,” explained Dr. Jones. “That way, if a crack in the cement develops, the sealant will fill the space and interact with the catalyst to harden, sealing the crack.” Their research is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, (one of the National Institutes of Health.) Seven CSU students have been involved in assisting Dr. Jones with this research and he is incredibly proud of their accomplishments. “Two of my post-graduate
10
students who assisted me in research are headed to medical school and graduate school. Another is a thirdyear Ph.D. student at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. And three of my students recently made very well received presentations at the 007 American Chemical Society Meeting in Chicago, IL. I’m proud of them all,” said Dr. Jones. Dr. Jones began work on this project in 00 in collaboration with Dr. Gladius Lewis, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Memphis. The CSU team is developing the cement and the testing is being conducted in Memphis. Once both teams are done, the project will proceed to the bio-testing phase before becoming a patented product. Dr. Jones earned his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of South Carolina and then continued his post-doctorial studies in Organometallic Chemistry under Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Robert H. Grubbs, Victor & Elizabeth Atkins professor of chemistry at the California Institute of Technology. Before arriving at CSU, he did catalyst exploratory research for BP Amoco Chemicals in Naperville, IL. “It was then that I realized my heart really belonged in academia,” he concluded. His work at Chicago State University provides him with the opportunity to share his passion for research with students who will benefit from such efforts for years to come.

Dr. Kristy Mardis Assistant Professor of Chemistry
Chemistry students exceed expectations in complex computational chemistry research.
D
r. Kristy Mardis believes that even the most complex research projects should be presented to undergraduate students for their involvement. “When I talk to associates at other major universities, they’re amazed by the idea of using undergraduates in advanced research studies,” stated Dr. Mardis. “The students I’ve worked with at CSU are extremely capable of assisting me in my research. The key is to find the right projects.” For the past three years, the right project has been one funded by a joint partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Mardis and her students are working to gain a detailed understanding of a specific molecule called cytochrome c. This molecule is a soluble protein that has the unique ability to transfer electrons. Ultimately, they hope to uncover how engineers can use this molecule in the production of artificial solar energy storage devices. The increase in fuel prices and growing concern about global warming have created more interest in the development of these devices. The discipline of computational chemistry is being utilized in this work. As a computational chemist, Dr. Mardis applies existing computer programs and methodologies to specific chemical problems in order to explore the process of electron transfer that is not easily studied by experiments alone. Dr. Mardis explained, “I am much more of a theorist. In computational chemistry, we know from the beginning that we are not going to produce a product anytime soon.” Each summer, Dr. Mardis works with her students at Argonne National Laboratory, the nation’s first national laboratory and one of the largest. This exposure gives them a realistic view of what being a chemist is like. She selects two CSU students to collaborate with her colleague, Dr. David Tiede, an experimental chemist at Argonne. He’s interested in developing new solar energy resources through his work in photosynthesis. Specifically, he is studying organisms containing cytochrome c that live at the bottom of the ocean in an effort to better understand how they convert sulfur into energy. “To help Dr. Tiede determine what to test, my team takes a good guess at what we would expect the test results to be. Dr. Tiede’s group can then run the molecular testing to see if their results agree with our guess. If not, we come up with new guesses,” explained Dr. Mardis. “Our job is to try and understand things. We then pass along that knowledge to those who can utilize it.” Dr. Mardis earned her Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin. She continued her studies at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and then taught at Pacific Lutheran University before joining the Chicago State University faculty.

Dr. Patricia Sloan Associate Dean of the College of Health Sciences
Dr. Titilayo Abiona Director of Research for the HIV/AIDS Research and Policy Institute
Assessing high risk HIV transmission behaviors in Illinois prisons to influence public policy
T
he work currently being done by Dr. Patricia Sloan and Dr. Titilayo Abiona is an excellent example of how Chicago State University responds to critical public mandates. This team is conducting research that examines the link between HIV infection and incarceration in randomly selected prisons throughout Illinois in order to stem the infection rate. This research, mandated and funded by the Illinois legislature, is the first and only such study of its kind in the state. It is also at the forefront of similar work being done across the country. Drs. Sloan and Abiona are surveying ,000 randomly selected inmates in fifteen male and two female prisons in Illinois. “To ensure the statistical credibility of our work, we are surveying prisoners through a two-stage randomized sampling technique,” explained Dr. Sloan. “Once this data is collected and analyzed, the next step will be to further investigate the role of high risk behavior in this population.” Dr. Sloan, a public health nurse and an Ed.D in Education, and Dr. Abiona, an M.D. with a post graduate fellowship in Public Health, are uniquely qualified to spearhead this project. Once the study is completed, Drs. Sloan and Abiona will write a report and present their data to the Illinois General Assembly. In addition, their work will be published in reputable local and international journals. Subsequent to this reporting, a qualitative study with ex-offenders will be done by the HIV/AIDS Research and Policy Institute, (a research center at CSU), to further explore these findings. “We’re hoping that ultimately, the research will better inform and influence the state’s health policies and procedures,” said Dr. Sloan.

Dr. Karen McCurtis Witherspoon Associate Professor of Psychology
Going beyond the classroom to help reduce physical and mental health disparities in African American women
D
r. Karen Witherspoon began her career as a licensed psychologist in 199 and then began teaching in 000. It was then that she began to recognize the effects of internalized oppression, sexism and depression in many of the African American women with whom she worked. “I became aware that many successful African American women were in denial about their depression,” she said. “This idea of strong, career-oriented women who feel they should be able to do everything is very pervasive. They don’t allow themselves to admit they need help, let alone seek it. In addition, these women can have very serious physical health problems. Many are overweight and getting diabetes at a rate higher than the general population.” This revelation led Dr. Witherspoon to her mission of identifying contributing factors and implementing programs to reduce these mental and physical health disparities. Her research proposes an examination of the effectiveness of culturally based intervention to predict, explain and improve African American women’s overall health. The National Institute of Mental Health provides funding for her investigation. “My plan is to build upon a series of studies that examine the relationship between the Stereotypical Roles for Black Women Scale (SRBW) and various health outcomes. My colleagues and I have found previous relationships between certain stereotypical images and self-esteem, paranoia, hostility, interpersonal insensitivity, depression, compulsive eating, coping and socioeconomic status,” stated Dr. Witherspoon.
Her research involves three phases of investigation. First, she is exploring the extent to which a 16-week psychological and lifestyle change intervention can significantly improve the cardiovascular risk profile of these women. Secondly, she is determining whether the addition of culturally specific interventions to reduce internalized oppression will result in greater cardiovascular risk reduction. And third, she is testing a conceptual model by examining the direct relationships between physical health and mental health outcomes and the moderating effects of stress, health behaviors and internalized oppression. Dr. Witherspoon hopes that her findings will be the impetus for developing strategies, programs and culturally responsive treatment practices that can be used nationally to improve the physical and mental health of African American women. Dr. Witherspoon’s work goes beyond the classroom touching the national citizenry. This fact gives students working with her the opportunity for their work to have a greater impact. They are assisting Dr. Witherspoon in the data collection phase of this project. One of her former students will be using the data for her graduate dissertation. Dr. Karen Witherspoon received her undergraduate degree at Marquette University and her Master’s and Ph.D. from Loyola University.

Year in Review
Hurricane Katrina Students Matriculate When the devastation of Hurricane Katrina hit colleges and universities along the Gulf Coast, Chicago State University was quick to respond. Over 100 displaced students matriculated in the fall 005. They received financial assistance, counseling and academic guidance in an effort to make their transition as seamless as possible. At the end of the academic year, several of the displaced students decided to complete their studies at our institution. In addition, the University community collected and donated clothing and non-perishable goods to hurricane victims in New Orleans.
President Daniel offered words of encouragement during the special orientation session held for students displaced by Hurricane Katrina .
Rance Johnson, a student from Dillard University in New Orleans, happily displayed his new CSU I .D . card .
Expansion in Academic Programming The University continued to meet the ever-growing educational needs of its students by increasing opportunity for academic pursuits. The establishment of Chicago State University’s College of Pharmacy created a new opportunity for students to earn a doctorate of pharmacy. With the Illinois Board of Higher Education’s approval in hand, admission criteria were created, curriculum was developed and Dr. David Slatkin was selected as the Dean of the College. When the inaugural class matriculates in the fall 00 , the College of Pharmacy will be one of only three in the Midwest.
The Pharmacy Advisory Council provided important guidance to the University administration in the planning of the College of Pharmacy .

According to U.S. Labor Department statistics, the nation may face a shortfall of 157,000 pharmacists by 0 0. Minority pharmacists are in particular demand because they are grossly underrepresented at pharmacy schools nationally. The College hopes to address this shortage by paying close attention to the recruitment of minorities into the program.
Chicago State University partnered with the Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union to open a National Board Resource Center (NBRC) in the College of Education. The NBRC prepares teachers for National Board Certification, the nation’s highest level of teaching certification and the only means to achieve the Illinois Master Teaching Certificate. CSU is one of two universities in the state to be an NBRC site. Less than one percent of the country’s National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) are persons of color. However, CSU’s partnership produced 1 new NBCTs in 006, all of whom were University alumni. They continue to grow as leaders in teaching, serving on College of Education committees, assisting with curricula development and mentoring our new teacher graduates.
Many special guests, including Ms . Treopia Washington from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (right), joined Dr . Sandra Westbrooks, Dean of the College of Education, at the grand opening of the National Board Resource Center .
Capital Projects Continue to Change Campus Landscape The commemorative start of construction on a new Student Financial Assistance Outreach Building took place in a groundbreaking ceremony in the spring 006. The two-story, ,000-squarefoot edifice will be sited on the northeast side of the campus. When completed, students will have access to all financial and enrollment services in one location.
While elected officials, special guests and administrators participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for the Student Financial Assistance Outreach Building, construction continued on the new Academic Library and Convocation Center (left) . This Chicago State University capital project is one of several underway. Construction of the new academic library and convocation center neared completion in FY ’06 dramatically changing the campus landscape. Each project greatly enhances the quality of our students’ academic experience and the University’s operations. All of these new structures are the University’s first in over 0 years. 19
Year in Review
New Accreditations The Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) provided the College of Business with its accreditation at the 006 ACBSP Annual Conference. This accreditation certifies that the College’s teaching and learning processes meet the rigorous educational standards established by the ACBSP. The ratification of accreditation is applicable for ten years. Having received this accreditation, Dr. Farhad Simyar, Dean of the College, plans to grow the list of academic offerings to include Master’s Programs in Business Administration and Accounting. The institution’s highly respected Occupational Therapy Program also received accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education. In compliance with the accreditation requirements, the O.T. program transitioned to an entry level Master’s program, combining the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with the Master of Occupational Therapy degree. Graduates of the program will be prepared for the national certification examination.
University of Service in the Community and Abroad Chicago State University continued to have one of the state’s safest university campuses as a result of the talented and dedicated officers in the Chicago State University Police Department. Heroic acts, like those of Officer Noel Tarr, underscore that fact. On New Year’s Eve 005, Officer Tarr was patrolling the University and the adjacent neighborhood when, a few blocks away from campus, he noticed a car traveling at a high rate of speed, crossing traffic lanes and going through traffic lights. It crossed his path, hit a light pole and caught on fire. The young woman who was driving was pinned underneath the steering wheel and her two toddlers were thrown from the backseat to the car floor. Officer Tarr immediately responded by removing

the mother and her children from the vehicle, taking them out of harm’s way.
His service earned him national recognition in the FBI’s monthly publication, Law Enforcement Bulletin . He was also honored by the University Police Department. With the receipt of a $ million grant award from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the University gained the unique opportunity to positively impact the lives of school children in Ghana. The grant provided CSU funding to develop 600,000 textbooks for students and educational materials for teachers in Ghanaian primary schools. University faculty and administrators worked in partnership
with the Ghanaian Ministry of Education, Science and Sports. Chicago State University is one of six universities partnering with six nations in Africa as part of the USAID’s Textbook and Learning Materials Program (TLMP). The other TLMP partnerships are: Alabama A&M University with Ethiopia; Elizabeth City State University with Senegal; South Carolina State University with Tanzania; Tougaloo College with Zambia; and The University of Texas at San Antonio with South Africa. Together these schools and African countries will produce and distribute 15 million primary school textbooks for African students.
CSU Remains One of the Region’s Best for Graduating Students of Color The class of 006 ranked among the University’s largest graduating classes with over 900 bachelor’s and master’s degrees being granted primarily to students of color. This fact is reflected in annual reporting done by Diverse Issues in Higher Education . According to Diverse, in 006 Chicago State University continued to rank number one in the Midwest for awarding baccalaureate degrees to African Americans and among the nation’s top for awarding baccalaureate and master’s degrees to minority students.
CSU is among the nation’s top universities for awarding baccalaureate and master’s degrees to minority students .

Mission Statement
C
hicago State University, a public, comprehensive, urban institution of higher learning located on the south side of Chicago, strives for excellence in teaching, research, creative expression and community service. The mission of the university is to: 1) provide access to higher education for residents of the region, the state and beyond, with an emphasis on meeting the educational needs, undergraduate through doctoral levels, of promising graduates from outstanding secondary schools as well as educating students where academic and personal growth may have been inhibited by lack of economic, social, or educational opportunity; and 2) produce graduates who are responsible, discerning, and informed global citizens with a commitment to lifelong-learning and service. To accomplish its mission, the university is committed to: recruiting, retaining and graduating a culturally and economically diverse student body including undergraduate, master’s and doctoral-level students; employing a dedicated, caring and culturally diverse faculty whose teaching is informed by research and embodies engaging learning experiences that enable students to flourish academically and personally; offering curricula that address major dimensions of the arts, humanities, and encourage the development of communication skills and critical thinking as well as cultural and social awareness; providing students in liberal arts and professional programs with broad knowledge, university-level competencies and specialized courses that are intellectually challenging and academically rigorous; fostering a collaborative and intellectually stimulating community that promotes academic freedom, mutual respect and integrity for its graduate and undergraduate students, faculty and staff; and working in partnership with local organizations and agencies active in the region and assisting in the development of socially, economically viable and sustainable communities.
