Congratulations to William H. Adams!

Here's a story we can feel good about. William H. Adams, archivist in the Chicago State Library and graduate of Chicago State University (B.A. in History 2005, M.A. in History 2009), has been accepted into the American Studies Ph.D. program at the University of Kansas. Congratulations, William on your achievement, we know you will do Chicago State proud!

This the first of many acceptance letters to come your way. You are truly a credit to the university and an example of the good we do here.

Thanks to Haki Madhabuti

"1. He/she must be a scholar of national note, with significant peer review publications and books in his or her field. There must be no doubt as to his/her standing in the community of scholars. This would also include a history of the candidate’s participation in the appropriate professional organizations.

2. He/she must have served with distinction as the administrative head of a major unit within an institution of higher learning or at the important position of Provost and/or Dean. Of course, prior service at the presidential level is preferred.

3. He/she must have a documented history of raising significant monies from the private and public sectors. At most major and research one universities it is not unusual to expect the president to come with a plan to raise in excess of half a billion dollars or more in the first few years.

4. The prospective president must have a consensus buy-in from the faculty, students, administration and staff, therefore, arriving with a unity mandate to lead by joining a University community that has bought into his or her vision for the future."
