LinkedIn & Professional Connections Initiative
The Office of Career Services is calling all alumni to join the Professional Connections Initiative (PCI), a growing online mentorship database through eRecruiting that benefits students and alumni job seekers as well as alumni employers looking to access an excellent pool of RU candidates for jobs and internships.

June events in California and Schaumburg
The Alumni Association kicked off the summer with several great events in California as well as Schaumburg. In Los Angeles, on June 11, over 30 alumni and friends were hosted by RU Trustee David D. Hiller, who is President, Publisher and CEO of the Los Angeles Times, at the Times' Olympic Printing facility. In addition to meeting Hiller and other great area alumni, the guests had the unique opportunity to tour the facility and get an up-close look at how a major newspaper is produced.
The following day the Alumni Association traveled north to Oakland where some 50 alumni and friends gathered aboard the USS Potomac, FDR's "floating whitehouse" for a reception and tour. President Middleton's presentation of the Harold Washington Professional Achievement Award to Ellis Schuman (BM, '55) was a highlight of the evening.
On June 18, over 70 people gathered at the Schaumburg campus for an outdoor reception in the community courtyard and an engaging discussion led by Roosevelt's Dr. Steven A. Meyers, Illinois Professor of the Year for 2007.
Photos from all three events are available online for download and printing here.
