Roosevelt University is proud to invite Katia and Samantha Martinez to give a joint student speech at the Fall 2018 Commencement ceremony on Dec. 14. The twin sisters, who immigrated from Mexico when they were five years old, will both graduate with the Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and were involved with myriad school activities during their time as Roosevelt students. They were able to answer some questions about this honor and how Roosevelt University opened doors for them to grow and flourish as both students and people.

Roosevelt University provides academic opportunities for students from all walks of life and is home to anyone who values education and inclusivity. While Frank Massolini (MA, ’18) may have taken quite a hiatus from being a Roosevelt University student, he “never forgot the fantastic experience” he had at Roosevelt and returned nearly 40 years later to finish his Master of Arts in Sociology — but not before traveling the world and helping others in his extensive career.

Roosevelt University is proud to announce Christopher G. Kennedy as its Fall 2018 Commencement speaker. Kennedy is the founder and chairman of Top Box Foods, an anti-hunger not-for-profit social business, and treasurer for the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, which works to improve the lives of people with intellectual disabilities through funding, programming and advocacy.
