Chicago State Alumni, were you there last Saturday?

Our young men and Coach Rome made us proud. We did not get the win, falling 44–28, but our team looked poised, prepared, and ready to build something special.

Now, we need your help to keep that momentum going. Our Alumni Challenge is simple: 250 alumni giving $100 each will allow us to present the Chicago State Athletic Department with a $25,000 check at Homecoming.

Can I count on you?

Excellent read! As we continue to reimagine how we support students, especially those most impacted by punitive discipline, this piece is a powerful reminder of the importance of restorative practices.
Take a moment to check it out—you won’t regret it. Let’s shift the focus from punishment to purpose, accountability, and healing.

This strategy focuses on helping the student stay part of the school community through tutoring, counseling, and community service.
