NEWS RELEASE (Feb. 8, 2007) - Roosevelt Receives Grant for Election Analyses

Roosevelt University’s Institute for Politics has received a $30,000 grant from AT&T Excelerator, a competitive technology grant program from the AT&T Foundation, the philanthropic arm of AT&T Inc.

The institute will use the grant to conduct non-partisan analyses of elections. The institute is headed by Paul Green, an internationally known political commentator and Roosevelt’s Arthur Rubloff Professor of Policy Studies.

“I want to thank AT&T for aiding our commitment to citizens, journalists and elected officials. This grant will enable us to use the latest technology to provide comprehensive election analyses,” Green said.

“Roosevelt University and other organizations in Chicago will continue to use technology funded by the AT&T Excelerator program to empower the community and change the lives of those they serve on a day-to-day basis,” said Paul La Schiazz, president of AT&T Illinois.
