Drew University The Gateway Messenger – Wednesday, 22 January 2013

The Search for a President

The Board of Trustees has announced a search for the 12th president of Drew University.

We invite nominations and applications for this distinctive opportunity for leadership.

The next Drew president will be asked to develop a vision and strategic plan for strengthening academic standing, financial health and reputation while underscoring Drew’s core values, existing accomplishments and emerging initiatives.

The agenda for the next president goes well beyond maintaining the status quo.

The potential for energetic, engaged and entrepreneurial leadership at Drew is uncommonly attractive.

The current president, Dr. Vivian A. Bull, will complete a two-year interim period in the presidency on June 30, 2014. With prior service as a Drew faculty member and administrator, and as the former president of Linfield College, her current contributions to Drew have been invaluable. Under her leadership, the university has affirmed its sense of mission, bolstered its institutional confidence and assessed its potential initiatives.

What Makes Drew Drew?

Notable for its strength in the liberal arts, the quality of its academic programs, the beauty of its verdant 186-acre campus, its historic links to the United Methodist Church and its proximity to the intellectual and cultural resources of New York City, Drew University presents a distinctive profile. The university has three parts: the Theological School, the College of Liberal Arts and the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies. Together, they enroll 2,400 students and have 170 full-time faculty

ONE

A community for learning

“The entire chemistry faculty knows me as a person, not just a chemistry student. Whenever I have a bad day, I knock on my adviser’s office door and complain freely. He’s a good listener.”—Sophomore Alae Kawam

Supportively Rigorous

Across all three schools, a Drew education is characterized by close faculty-student interaction and personal, collaborative relationships.

Learning is student-driven and supportively rigorous, with faculty serving to challenge students in their intellectual journey.

Drew offers unusual opportunities to pursue knowledge across the conventional boundaries of the academy. Hallmarks of Drew’s approach to higher education include:

·        n the clarity of the university’s commitment to liberal learning

·        n an emphasis upon interdisciplinary studies

·        n the international character of its curriculum and the presence of students from throughout the world

·        n its commitment to experiential learning and small classes

Praise in Princeton Review

Drew consistently ranks among the top 10 schools in the nation for the popularity of campus theater, one of the reasons the Drew University Dramatic Society (DUDS) gets away with its acronym.

TWO

Best of both worlds: a bucolic campus retreat for academic and social pursuits close to New York City

Daniel Drew chose Madison, N.J., as the location for the school that bears his name because of its proximity to the educational and cultural resources of New York City, only 29 miles to the east. The university continues to benefit from his decision and thrives in the research-rich state of New Jersey, home to one of the highest percentages of college graduates in the nation. Regular commuter rail service into midtown Manhattan from downtown Madison gives students access to a wide range of internships and has allowed the university to develop istinctive programming.

Drew created its first New York program, the Semester on the United Nations, in 1962. It uses the U.N. facility as a classroom and is the oldest of its kind in the country. A Wall Street Semester, which takes advantage of the university’s strong alumni network in the field, followed in 1998. Students travel twice a week to Manhattan’s financial district to learn from professionals who work in the financial world, and visit the places that are so integral to the U.S. economy: investment banks, brokerages and stock exchanges. The Semester on Contemporary Art exposes students to New York’s art scene by taking them into artists’ studios, museums and galleries. A fourth New York program focused on communications and media is in the planning stages.

“I got to tell Bobby Moynihan from SNL that he had a great show. I got to see him do improv at the place where he learned to do improv.”—Theatre arts major Ariel Gitlin on her internship at Manhattan’s Upright Citizen’s Brigade

I Had to Shlep to Kmart, but This Internship Made a Theater Career Feel Real

Ariel Gitlin follows in Amy Poehler’s footsteps.

Drew Magazine intern Kathryn McMillan ’13 gets right to the point with theatre arts major and former Upright Citizens Brigade summer intern Ariel Gitlin ’13.

KM: Did you meet anyone famous?

AG: I met a lot of people who are really well respected in the improv scene in New York.  So I wasn’t sitting down and having lunch with Amy Poehler (a founder of the Upright Citizens Brigade), but I got to see her perform. I also got to take improv classes. My teacher was John Murray and he was one of the silent writers on 30 Rock. And I got to tell Bobby Moynihan from SNL that he had a great show one night. He is such a fantastic performer and I got to see him do improv at the place where he learned to do improv.

KM: That’s cool.

AG: The really cool thing is that most of the professional performers there took the same classes I was taking. They have pictures on the walls of old teams and one of my jobs was to reframe them. I was seeing people working there now back when they were on teams at the theater.

KM: How did you afford New York City?

AG: If you get a theater internship you can apply for the Patenaude Grant. It’s something really, really great that the theater department does, and I hope they have it forever. You submit a budget for what you’ll need over the summer. It paid my rent. I was very, very lucky. Go theater department!

KM: Do you have any crazy stories?

AG: I got to witness pretty crazy audience members, but I would say the most fun was helping with the UCB marathon. I remember me and one other intern, Lizzy, were sent to Kmart to get things for it, like coolers. We were rolling these huge coolers down the streets of Chelsea, and sweating. At one point we had to push carts of beer to the theater, a lot of beer because a lot of beer is involved with improv shows.

KM: What was the best thing about the internship?

AG: I wasn’t paid, but I got free access to all the UCB shows. The best part was being so close to the theater and getting to see a show every night if I wanted to. Being in the city makes you more available for things, especially in theater! I got to work on two friends’ shows in festivals because I was in the city.

KM: You’re centered where you should be.

AG: I’m from Rhode Island. My whole life I would go down to New York to see theater, but when you’re living there you can actually do it. There are other places to do theater, but being in New York was definitely a good artistic experience.

KM: Do you want to move to the city after you graduate?

AG: Yes. I want to keep taking classes at UCB. I’ve taken level 101 and 201 and I want to work in theater. There’s a good Drew network there, too, so I don’t feel like I’m going out into the great big wild. I do, but at least there will be people around.

KM: There’s definitely a lot of Drew people in the city.

AG: Definitely a lot of Drew theater people.

KM: Did you work with any other college students?

AG: There were a bunch of interns. A really great group of people. We worked in the office during the day and sometimes at night we would get together and do improv jams and we’d practice together. We formed a group and we brought ourselves to Monday nights at UCB in the East Village—they have something called Bring Your Own Team. You can just show up and put your group name in a bucket and perform. We performed as The Interns or something. I met people who were into the same stuff I was and could teach me so much about it.

KM: What made you want to come to Drew?

AG: The theatre arts department. I remember I visited and sat in the directing lab and I just felt like I could see myself sitting there, which I do a lot now.

KM: Did the internship change you?

AG: Doing this internship showed me that I could make a career out of something that I really love. It also calmed my nerves because I saw people working professionally and I saw how they got there, so it made working in theater less of a pipe dream and more of a—

KM: Reality?

AG: A reality. Yeah.

Upscale Suburb

Small-town Vibe

We enjoy a close relationship with Madison, N.J., a charming commuter suburb whose downtown, filled with great dining options, is just a 10-minute walk from campus. Drew co-sponsors the local farmer’s market and university staffers serve on town committees.

THREE

Experiential learning that goes far beyond standard fare

“We hope this will lead to higher scores on exams and an increase in the number of students going on to college.” —Senior Gabe Auteri, on a Drew microfinance project that funded a new rental program making textbooks affordable for students in a small village in Cameroon

Learning on and off campus takes many forms! It brings Drew students and prison inmates together inside state correctional facilities to study religion and sociology and MAT students to Newark to lead an eighth-grade oral history project on Iraq War veterans. It gives Drew theatre arts majors the opportunity to collaborate on theater with urban public high school students and future Wall Street executives exposure to vital Manhattan networks.

Further afield, Drew offers international opportunities geared to every imaginable purpose and time frame. Theological School students can travel to countries such as India, Turkey and El Salvador for cross-cultural immersion experiences. College students have an extensive menu of choices from which to choose, including a semester-long class on management practices that relocates to Tokyo for a week over spring break to compare American and Japanese systems, and the ultimate British theater marathon: three weeks in the U.K., attending back-to-back performances, with a long stop at the legendary Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

FOUR

Immersive civic engagement and honors programs

“I had no idea that day laborers existed. Even less that it was happening in Morristown. Now I feel educated on the topic. I don’t think I could think of a better way to learn.”—Suzanne Sheptock, on a Drew experiential course held at a nearby immigrants’ center

What DREW offers standout students

Our students describe the Forest as a safe and tolerant atmosphere in which potentially sensitive issues such as political affiliation, free speech and sexual orientation are not seriously divisive.

Baldwin Honors Scholars

Drew recognizes promising undergraduate scholars and leaders—114 first-year members this fall, the largest class to date—with a substantial four-year scholarship, opportunities for independent study and research and access to master classes and VIP receptions.

Civic Scholars

In 2008, the university deepened its commitment to engaged learning through the creation of a Center for Civic Engagement and, at the undergraduate level, the establishment of the Civic Scholars program, which received national attention for being one of the first scholarships in the country to reward students for community service. The Civic Scholars program has quickly grown from five students in 2009 to more than 140 in 2013, and attracts students from across the country.

The narrative doesn’t end here.

Three Schools, One University

The Theological School has the most diverse faculty and staff among the three parts of the university. Its student body has no racial, ethnic or religious majority

Theological School

Drew began in 1867 as a seminary, the antecedent of today’s Drew Theological School. With a student body of 461 students (342 FTE) and a full-time faculty of 26, the school has a distinguished history, with prominent alumni in church and academic leadership around the world. The school is known both for its role in training clergy for the United Methodist Church and its cutting-edge scholarship and socially engaged programs.

The Theological School offers six degree programs that prepare students to make an impact in the world as church leaders, thought leaders and change agents. Supported by a generous grant from the General Commission on Religion and Race of the United Methodist Church, the school is revising the Master of Divinity curriculum to become a truly multicultural curriculum that is grounded in the needs of the contemporary church and world.

College of Liberal Arts

The College of Liberal Arts (CLA) was founded in 1928 as a small college for men. It became co-educational during the 1940s and increased significantly in size beginning in the 1960s. In the early 1980s, it became only the third Phi Beta Kappa chapter in the state. With about 1,700 students (1,598 FTE) and 129 full-time faculty, the CLA is today the largest unit within the university.

The college, which offers a BA in 30 fields, has an excellent record of preparing students for success after graduation. Ninety-five percent of the Class of

2012 were employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation.

Members of the Class of 2013 were admitted into the top graduate programs in the country and have had similar success landing jobs. In the past five years, CLA students have won Fulbright, Goldwater and U.S. Department of State Critical Language scholarships, as well as National Science Foundation Research, Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace and DAAD fellowships.

Kudos for Teacher Training

For three years in a row, Drew MAT students have won the

N.J. Department of Education’s Distinguished Student Teacher

Award, honoring the state’s 15 most promising future educators! Humanities for Hospitals

Drew offers a pathway for residents at nearby top hospitals—Saint Barnabas Medical Center and the Atlantic Health System—to earn a Certificate in Medical Humanities.

Caspersen School of Graduate Studies

The graduate school, which is devoted to advanced study in the humanities, opened in 1955. Named the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies (CSGS) in 1999, it currently enrolls about 350 students (218 FTE). The school’s five humanities-based degree-granting programs share a common approach of blending master’s and doctoral liberal arts study with practical experience.

Both faculty and students in one of the school’s newest programs, the MFA in Poetry and Poetry in Translation, have been recipients of numerous honors, including the election of Distinguished Poet-in-Residence Gerald Stern to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Agenda for Drew’s Next President

At a time of rapid change in higher education, Drew draws great confidence from the combination of its past successes and the promise of new ventures. The opportunity to bring ingenuity and strength to the Drew presidency is matched by the need to build a fresh and sustainable vision for Drew’s future.

New leadership will be expected to embrace an agenda that will strengthen the institution, enhance its collegiality and expand its reputation. The leadership agenda for Drew’s next president includes: realizing Financial equilibrium – Among the most pressing institutional needs at Drew is the establishment and maintenance of financial equilibrium. Drew operates with an annual budget of $74 million and is supported by an endowment of $201 million. Having experienced several recent operating shortfalls, the university is currently undergoing a three-year reorganization of its budget in order to bring its annual revenues and expenditures into balance. Identified as “Drew 2017,” this effort will produce sustainable budget parameters

for the future. A new president will have the opportunity to cultivate this financial equilibrium and leverage this new budget model as she/he develops a long-term strategic vision for Drew’s future. redesigning the Strategic Plan – The new president will be asked to launch fresh planning discussions that will capture and bring coherence to the vitality, imagination and energy of Drew’s people and programs. While the substance of a new plan will be critical for Drew’s future, so, too, will be the style of the planning process. Ownership of the strategic plan by Drew’s trustees, faculty, staff and students will ensure that their substantial resources, talent and commitments are leveraged to strengthen the university’s future.

The opportunity to analyze the potential for institutional change, balance aspirations with resources, build consensus around new initiatives, set priorities for action and implement them decisively will be key to the new president’s success in renewing Drew’s strategic plan.

The Drew community is already discussing ideas to refresh the strategic plan, and will be bringing these, among others, to the new president’s attention:

n a contemporary interpretation of the liberal arts for future generations of learners

·        further internationalization of the Drew experience

·        additional cooperative arrangements with other institutions

·        more program development in New York City

·        expansion of current civic engagement efforts

·        consideration of experimental pedagogies and application of new technologies

·        establishment of more prominent centers of excellence

Enhancing Enrollment Outcomes – Drew’s tuition-driven revenue stream is in need of significant enhancement.

Turnover in key admission office personnel, too frequent changes in Drew’s publicly perceived “brand,” smaller-than-planned-for first-year and transfer classes and growing attrition statistics have created this particular focus for new presidential leadership. At the heart of an overall strategic planning effort must also be development of a compatible enrollment management plan with admission and retention targets, pricing strategies and sustained and sophisticated branding and marketing efforts.

Drew’s next president must be effective in analyzing and refining admission and financial aid variables. Undergraduate enrollment is of particular interest with new first-year and transfers up slightly at 425 FTE this fall.

Retention to the sophomore year is 75%, the six-year graduation rate is at 69% and the current overall discount rate for the entire student body is at 50%. With regard to diversity, domestic students of color and international students combine to comprise 48% of the enrollment in the Theological School, 32% in the CLA and 13% in Caspersen.

A significant new International Student Pathway Program is being investigated at Drew this fall. If adopted, this program could have a major impact on Drew’s enrollment.

More information will be available in a later stage of the search. The new president’s early engagement in developing this program, while strengthening all of Drew’s enrollment outreach, are critically important items in this leadership agenda.

Stimulating the Philanthropic culture – The president must be personally engaged as the chief fundraiser for Drew, communicating the Drew story, engaging external constituencies, setting advancement expectations and using the strategic plan to establish fundraising priorities. Growing Drew’s gift revenues, stimulating the philanthropic culture and enhancing advancement across the university will be critical ingredients in Drew’s future welfare.

The new president should expect to be judged on a strengthened advancement program with measurable outcomes. The university’s current landscape presents reason for optimism:

·        The current $75 million Campaign for Drew was launched in 2009. With nearly $52 million in cash and pledges committed as well as a recent $6.8 million grant from the State of New Jersey for the Hall of Sciences, the campaign is ready to move from its “quiet phase” and into the spotlight under a new president’s leadership. Drew’s previous campaign ran from 1997 to 2003.

·        The three-year gift average (2011–2013) of total cash and pledges is nearly $10 million annually, higher than previous three-year averages.

·        The 2013 Annual Fund of unrestricted cash totaled $1.2 million, an increase of nearly $50K over 2012 and the second-best outcome in Drew’s history.

·        The alumni gift participation rate in the College of Liberal Arts rose to 25 percent last year, an increase of four percentage points over the prior three years.

The stage is set for Drew’s new president to focus immediately on stimulating the university’s philanthropic culture

Go Rangers!

Drew is home to 18 NCAA Division III varsity sports, accounting for roughly 25 percent of undergraduate enrollment. We compete in the Landmark Conference, a group of eight like-minded institutions committed to helping students succeed on the playing field and in the classroom.

Professional Theater Drew is home to the rich resources of the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, one of the leading Shakespeare companies in the country.

Valuing the Drew Community – Future planning and campus wide conversations will offer a new president the chance to build positive relationships, establish trust and strengthen a sense of community among and between the constituencies in the College of Liberal Arts, the Theological School and the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies. Leadership’s commitment to empowering the faculty and staff and emphasizing common goals of high-quality teaching, learning and research, as well as educational, personal, and professional growth strengthen and further enliven the student-centered environment that is central to Drew’s ethos.

A valued part of education and campus life at a smaller institution like Drew is the president’s accessibility to the community. The president will be expected to attend and support campus events, and to provide both formal and informal meeting opportunities for all Drew community members. By listening carefully, communicating clearly, operating transparently and collaborating effectively, the president can help celebrate the complexity and vitality of Drew.

Maximizing Trustee Effectiveness– The members of Drew’s Board of Trustees are deeply committed to the welfare of the university and continue to be generous with their time, energy and resources. Working with a recently elected board chair, the new president has an opportunity to develop an effective partnership with the board, to integrate its insights and expertise into the strategic planning effort and to collaborate with board leadership to strengthen further board engagement.

With a fresh opportunity to strengthen communication between the board and the campus community, the president can help the entire Drew community forge a renewed understanding of best governance practices. The respect and trust that grows from transparent, collaborative and constructive leadership will enable the president to foster a mutual commitment to Drew’s future.

Distinguishing Drew’s Reputation – New leadership has an opportunity to build simultaneously on current strengths while developing new institutional initiatives, thereby refining an identity to once again distinguish Drew among leading independent colleges and universities.

Developing the infrastructure behind this effort has already begun. In a multi-year effort to enhance Drew’s identity, a new website describing the undergraduate experience debuted in

2012 and was named Best Institutional Website

by CASE in 2013.

In an effort to extend the visibility and influence

of Drew University, the president will need to be comfortable communicating in the public arena about the value of a Drew education. Not only will this outreach enhance the university’s stature among its peer institutions, but the advancement and admissions programs will also benefit from the president’s public effectiveness in raising Drew’s profile. The vigorous national dialogue concerning the vitality of independent higher education and the value of the liberal arts deserves Drew’s input and the voice of its president.

Managing While Leading – In addition to the leadership agenda presented in this profile, the Drew president will be asked to practice strong management skills. While fiscal acumen and financial stewardship are important, there is also a need to model, expect and ensure administrative vacancies on an interim basis during her watch. While many of her interim appointments include talented and accomplished persons, she has provided a new president with a series of decisions in which she/he can build the best leadership/management team possible. Current interim appointments include two deanships (College of Liberal Arts and Theological School) and two cabinet positions (communications and advancement).

Desired Presidential Attributes

Creativity, authenticity and confidence tempered by self-awareness help to define the expectations for Drew’s presidency. Leadership qualities and professional achievements that correspond to Drew’s presidential agenda will be important, as will high energy, a demonstrable work ethic, a sense of humor, impeccable integrity, a strong moral compass and a desire to see

Drew’s people succeed. While accomplishments that reflect a comprehensive understanding of higher education and credentials that mirror a solid academic background are crucial, Drew recognizes that there can be many pathways to the successful presidency. The search committee welcomes and encourages interest in the Drew presidency from outside the academy, but specific skills and experiences will be important. The successful Drew president will be:

·        A visionary leader who will build trust among and between all Drew constituencies, while prioritizing complex issues and making difficult decisions

·        A passionate advocate for and interpreter of the liberal arts and Drew University, knowledgeable about the needs of the 21st-century learner, the development of programs in support of them and the changing face of educational technology

·        A person of financial acumen who will strengthen the university’s financial condition, while matching Drew’s aspirations with its resources

·        A person with a sophisticated understanding of successful enrollment management strategies on a regional and national basis

·        An effective fundraiser, able to inspire Drew’s philanthropic culture and generate increased contributed resources

·        An accomplished communicator, whose style includes strong listening skills and who will actively engage the Drew community in thoughtful discourse about its future

·        A keen strategist with an entrepreneurial mind who can lead by ideas, while committed to collaboration as a means of articulating and implementing plans

·        An enthusiastic campus presence, actively engaging students, staff and faculty in meaningful ways that will strengthen the Drew community

·        A person with knowledge of best governance practices and the ability to effectively engage Drew’s Board of Trustees

·        An astute manager, who will build an effective senior team and strengthen human resources at Drew, empowering staff at all levels

·        A person of global perspective and intercultural competence, committed to cultural pluralism in its many forms

·        An eager public spokesperson, capable of developing substantive institutional relationships and recognition for Drew

Drew Student Debt Lower Than Average

Students graduating from Drew University in 2012 had an average student debt of $24,470, lower than many other private and public universities in New Jersey and lower than the state and national average.

A study released Dec. 4 by the nonprofit Institute for College Access & Success called “The Project on Student Debt” determined that the average student loan debt for a 2012 college graduate was $29,400 nationwide and $29,287 in New Jersey.

Of the New Jersey colleges and universities that participated in the study, 15 had higher student loan debt amounts than Drew. Leading the state in student loan debt are Felician College in Lodi, with an average of $38,598, The College of New Jersey at $33,889 and Rider University at $32,718.

Fairleigh Dickinson University and Seton Hall University did not participate in the survey.

Renée Volak, director of financial assistance at Drew University, credited several factors for Drew’s results, including the generous scholarship aid given to Drew students. “We give a significant amount in scholarships that allows our student debt to be lower than the average in New Jersey,” said Volak. She estimated that Drew students received $30 million in scholarships in the 2012-2013 academic year.

Volak said the study serves as a reminder that parents and students should look beyond the cost of tuition at the outset and factor in financial aid and scholarships that may be available.

“It’s worth going through the application process to see what is offered,” she said. “Often I find it costs no more to go to a private school than a higher-priced public school.”

She pointed out Drew’s Office of Financial Assistance is available to advise and meet with both current and prospective students who may have questions about financial aid.

From Beanies to Concerts

Library exhibit on display through March

It wasn’t easy being a freshman guy at Drew in the early 1940s. Bad enough you had to wear a placard around your neck with your name and hometown when you walked around campus freshman year, but you also had to keep your shoes shined, get a crew cut and wear your trademark “dink” green beanie at all times.

That’s according to a brochure titled “Freshman Rules for Brothers College” dated 1942-43.

Imagine being a female student in the 1920s and having a conduct letter written about you to the president of the university for the crime of wearing your hair in a short bob. It actually happened to a student, whose hair infraction caught the attention of the Dean of Women at the time.

These things really happened at Drew, and lots more according to “Student Life at Drew: 1867-2013,” an exhibit on display in the lobby of the Drew library and the United Methodist Archives & History Center through March 31.

On view are photographs, early historical documents, letters, rock concert posters and even a pair of 1960s regulation gym shorts.

“We’re hoping students will compare their lives now to the ones in the past,” says former Drew graduate students Matthew R. Beland G’08, Drew archivist, who co-curated the exhibit with Methodist Librarian Christopher J. Anderson G’06. “In some ways they were radically different.”

Some of the differences include the way students in the 1880s got financial aid. While tuition was free, students could borrow money from the McClintock Association to help pay room and board. A series of handwritten yellowed letters show that some students had a hard time paying back their loans and wrote asking for an extension – a challenge that still faces students today.

Similarities include student interest in sports, music and political activism. Rock icons from the 60s and 70s—including Jefferson Airplane,The Animals and Carly Simon—have appeared on campus, though music labels rarely send emerging bands to college campuses anymore. Athletes in black and white photos from the early 1900s can be seen playing volleyball in long pants and striped buttoned-up shirts.

“We want to let students know there are others who have done this before you,” Beland says. “There are similarities, things in common, including plays bands, musicals.”

The curators scoured the extensive collections at both the main library and the Methodist Library & History Center to draw in the university’s rich history – from its beginnings as a theological seminary in 1867 to its contemporary and diverse presence today.  “I would like to see students view the exhibits as a (living) text,” says Anderson. “To spark curiosity and ask ‘What else is there.’”—Liz Moore

Prof. McGuinn quoted on parent activism in education

NEWER ADVOCACY GROUPS FIND FOOT SOLDIERS IN PARENTS

Katie Ash, Education Week

Jose A. Herrera, the father of two school-age children in New York City, said he used to be completely disengaged from politics—he didn’t even vote.

But that all changed after he successfully teamed up with other parents to push to move his elder son’s charter school from a community center into an actual school building, where students would finally have access to a cafeteria, a library, and a gym.

That victory inspired Mr. Herrerra to begin volunteering for Families for Excellent Schools, a New York City-based education advocacy organization that trains parents to lobby for the expansion and support of charter schools in New York City and Connecticut. Now, he’s an organizer for the group, working with parents much like himself.

In urban districts across the country, a new crop of education advocacy organizations promoting ideas like school choice and free-market practices for K-12 public education has begun tapping into parents like Mr. Herrera to press for changes to the public school system on state and local levels.

While the groups—such as StudentsFirst, Stand for Children, and Parent Revolution—insist they are helping solidify and sustain grassroots movements that are already bubbling up from local communities, others criticize them for strategically mobilizing parents for what they say is a national agenda fueled by outside groups and funding streams.

“I feel like what’s emerged [with these new groups] is a strategic response on the part of certain organizations that are extremely well funded by outside organizations, which is something different from traditional education organizations,” said John S. Rogers, an associate professor in the graduate school of education and information studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. He has been studying grassroots community organizing in education for decades.

These new groups tend to share an opposition to teachers’ unions, said Mr. Rogers, and a general ideological uniformity that favors free-market changes and school choice that set them apart from other political and civic efforts from parent-focused education groups.

Building Bridges

But Beth Doctor, the California state outreach director for the Sacramento, Calif.-based StudentsFirst, sees it differently.

While the nationwide organization, which was founded by Michelle A. Rhee, a former chancellor of the District of Columbia school system, does actively seek out communities to lobby for certain changes—such as implementing teacher merit pay, eliminating teacher tenure, and expanding school choice options—many of the parent cohorts that Ms. Doctor works with formed on their own and later connected with StudentsFirst, she said.

Ms. Doctor describes her work as providing a “bridge” to bring parents into the political process. “We want to break the complications down and make the process as seamless as possible,” she said.

Kellen N. Arno, the vice president of membership for Students First, agreed that the organization focuses on hiring organizers with strong local ties and partnering with local community leaders who are already working for change.

But, he said, time is always a challenge when working with parents, who are already stretched between work and raising their children, so it is the organization’s job to “do all the legwork to get [the parents] to the capital, … so that everything is cued up, teed up, and ready to go, so all [parents] have to do is show up.”

That mentality could jeopardize the authenticity of their undertakings, said Jeanne Allen, the president emeritus and founder of the Washington-based Center for Education Reform, a pro-voucher, pro-charter advocacy and research group, which is itself contemplating working more closely with parents at the grassroots level.

Organizations should focus their efforts on fostering and supporting a smaller number of parents who have the time, energy, and desire to be politically engaged in education, rather than amassing a laundry list of parents who are more superficially tied to the issues, she said.

“The reform movement needs to understand and spend time cultivating small pods of people who can literally become the experts that we in the policy world support, as opposed to us being the experts and the parents following along behind us,” she said.

Mr. Herrera, the parent-turned-organizer for Families for Excellent Schools in New York, admitted that in his experience, authentically engaging parents, who are strapped for time, is a real challenge, in part because change does not happen overnight.

“Sometimes, there’s no immediate benefit from the work that we do,” he said. “You’re fighting for something you might not see.”

Educating Parents

That is exactly what some organizations, like Stand for Children, an education-policy advocacy organization based in Boston and Portland, Ore., are aiming to do.

Stand for Children has established a leadership program for parents called Stand UP—for Stand University for Parents—a 10-week course for parents of elementary students during which they learn how to interpret school data and grades, how to build effective relationships with teachers and administrators, how to support their children’s academic goals, and what the role of parents is in their children’s education.

While Stand for Children works in 11 states around the country, Stand UP only operates in Arizona, Illinois, and Tennessee.

Ginger Spickler is a parent and a member of Stand for Children in Memphis, Tenn. She has also facilitated two sessions of Stand UP courses.

Ms. Spickler said she comes from a family of education advocates and has always felt empowered to push for changes to the education system, but Memphis is a much different environment from the small town in western Kentucky where she grew up.

“You have a lot of low-income, low-educated parents who don’t feel empowered in the same way [that I do]. They don’t feel empowered to talk to their kid’s teacher, much less go to the school board,” she said.

Stand UP teaches those parents how to start conversations with principals and teachers and how to become an advocate for their children, she said.

Christopher Lubienski, an associate professor of educational organization and leadership at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, said that Stand UP represents an authentic effort to engage and empower parents in their children’s education.

“They’re tapping into what the research suggests is very important for improving student outcomes,” he said, such as teaching parents how to be advocates for their children and how to create meaningful relationships with their children’s teachers.

Lubienski cited those efforts as ways to create an authentic grassroots leadership cohort.

Trust in Teachers

But these groups are also up against a culture of distrust of education reforms and the political process, said Patrick McGuinn, an associate professor of political science at Drew University in Madison, N.J. He wrote a paper for the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think tank, about parents’ becoming involved in education activism.

“Parents by far trust teachers more as messengers of information than any other source, so to the degree that these groups ignore or are unable to persuade teachers about the kinds of reforms they’re advocating, they’ll have a hard time convincing [parents],” he said. “Charter schools are a tough sell to teachers.”

Representatives from the 1.5 million-member American Federation of Teachers suggest that these new and vocal groups might not be representative of parents across the country. They point to resultsfrom a nationwide parent poll conducted in July by Hart Research Associates. It found that 77 percent of respondents felt the best way to improve public education was to make sure all children have access to a good public school in their community. Only 20 percent agreed that there should be more public charter schools and vouchers, according to the poll, which surveyed about 1,000 parents.

The poll also found that when asked who has the “right ideas” for public education, teachers had the highest credibility rate, with 81 percent of the responding parents choosing them. Teachers were followed by principals (77 percent) and parent organizations (70 percent).

Pulling the Parent Trigger

Perhaps one of the most high-profile examples of parents’ exerting more direct control over their neighborhood schools is the growth of parent-trigger initiatives and laws around the country.

The laws, which allow parents to initiate a turnaround process that could include the transformation of their local school into a charter through a petition, has only been invoked in one of the seven states with them on the books—California.

At least 25 state legislatures, however, have considered such laws since the first one passed in California in 2010.

Ben Austin, the executive director of the Los Angeles-based Parent Revolution, which has led parent-trigger initiatives in the state, said the laws are intended to distribute power to all parents to advocate high-quality schools.

“Fundamentally, parents do have power already if you’re upper-middle-class and educated. In many ways, what this movement is about is making sure that poor parents, working-class parents, undocumented parents, and parents of color have a similar amount of the power that middle- and upper-middle-class parents enjoy,” he said.

That requires many of those underserved parent groups to change the way they view themselves, Mr. Austin said. To that end, Parent Revolution provides parents with curricula that address community-organizing strategies and education policy, he said.

“Even if we disagree with the decisions they’re making, it’s our job to give them the tools to make smart decisions and then back them up,” said Mr. Austin.

Critics, such as Mr. Rogers of UCLA, however, point to the contentious and divisive fights in communities where parent-trigger laws have been invoked as evidence that such movements do little to empower local parents and communities.

In those communities, “you’ve seen an erosion of social trust both between teacher and parents but also among parents,” he said. “For me, the critical question would be … whether such efforts build capacity and leadership over the long term, and whether [they] build a sense of social trust that will enable communities to direct policies in their own interests for the longer term.”

Rev. Stefanie Minatee T'07 and her Jubilation Choir

Stefanie Minatee, gospel artist, is world traveler but remains loyal to New Jersey by Tris McCall/The Star-Ledger

This feature is part of "I Am New Jersey," a Star-Ledger series profiling some of the peoplewho make the Garden State special. To read more profiles, click this link.

Outside the Shaq Theatre on Springfield Avenue in the heart of the Springfield-Belmont section of Newark, snowflakes fell from the sky. It was only Dec. 14, but Christmas had begun its descent on the largest city in the Garden State — and in the lobby of the newly renovated building, right next to the concessions and the movie posters, the Rev. Stefanie Minatee and her Jubilation Choir were ringing in the season with heavenly sound.

In their hands, “Joy to the World” became a roof-raiser with a big bass riff; “Hark the Herald Angels” a clap-along celebration, and “O Holy Night,” which Minatee sang herself, was an exercise in pure reverence.

This was not blithe holiday shopping music. This was Christmas song fully invested with spirit — a message of joy and perseverance through tough times translated into notes and chords by a group of remarkable gospel singers. The singers were entirely present to each word.

By the end of the hour long concert, the senior citizens who had congregated to hear Jubilation were on their feet, singing and dancing and praising as if they were in a house of worship. And in a way, they were. The stage could be makeshift, and the sound system tiny; it hardly matters. Minatee and her choir can turn anyplace into church.

"The authenticity of gospel music is of foremost importance to me,” says Minatee, 56, who was born and raised in Newark and now lives in Union. “Gospel was born out of struggle and pain. It’s the music of people who look to God for guidance. It was never meant to be an entertainment entity.”

And yet it is tremendously entertaining. Jubilation, which began as the choir of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark and has since become independent of its original home, always puts on a terrific show. “A Jubilation Christmas,” the choir’s recently released CD, is the most devout and uplifting holiday album on the market. It’s also great fun. By remaining grounded in the religious meaning of the songs, Minatee and Jubilation managed to bring out both their explosive intensity and their emotional effulgence. Her dedication has won her fans among gospel purists, appreciators of funk, jazz and soul, and listeners of all kinds who appreciate the power of great voices in action.

“It is always a pleasure to be in an audience where Pastor Minatee’s incredible choir is in concert,” says Dionne Warwick, a longtime supporter of Jubilation. “She brings joy through gospel. She has developed quality, spiritually uplifting music for all.”

Gospel has taken Minatee around the world. She’s found enthusiastic audiences for Jubilation and its message across America — and in Europe, too. Her choir has backed Queen Latifah at the Super Bowl and supported Ray Charles on his “Gospel Christmas” concert DVD and its accompanying album. Minatee and Jubilation won a Grammy for their singing on “Oh Happy Day,” a 2010 gospel compilation.

But throughout her travels, the minister, director and voice teacher has remained passionately loyal to New Jersey. The artistic director of the world-famous Jubilation can be found at the Community Baptist Church of Englewood. Minatee also was, for 29 years, a voice and music teacher in the Plainfield public school system (she retired in 2012), and she’s as proud of her accomplishments there as she is of her turn on the world stage. Several of her Plainfield students have been good enough to join her professional choir.

“Rev. Minatee is a powder keg of energy, God’s love, and talent,” says A. Curtis Farrow, the organizer of the annual McDonald’s Gospel fest concert at Prudential Center in Newark. “It’s apropos that her choir is named Jubilation. We are very blessed to have her be a part of the New Jersey gospel community.”

Like many of Jersey’s foremost gospel artists, Minatee was immersed in spiritual music as a child. Her mother, Pearl Tucker Minatee, was a member of one of the most heralded singing groups in Garden State history — the Angelic Choir of the First Baptist Church of Nutley. The Rev. Lawrence C. Roberts, the pastor at the church for nearly 40 years before his 1995 retirement, was a prodigious musical talent and a charismatic preacher. Minatee calls Roberts the most profound influence on her own style and artistic approach, and speaks rapturously about the excitement that his worship community was able to generate.

“I fell in love with gospel music at the First Baptist Church,” says Minatee, who was made a minister by the Nutley house of worship in 1987. “I spent a lot of time with Rev. Roberts. I’d hear him preach and play and sing. And it was amazing to see the procession of famous artists who would visit the church — everybody from Aretha Franklin to the Ward Singers to Billy Preston.”

Through his association with the raspy-voiced Rev. James Cleveland, a towering figure in the history of church music, Roberts produced gospel records for Newark imprint Savoy. “Peace Be Still,” a 1963 album credited to James Cleveland and Roberts’ Angelic Choir, became one of the first gospel records to cross over to a mainstream audience, and helped popularize the white-hot, rhythmic, harmonically ambitious style of church music now familiar to music listeners worldwide.

Stefanie Minatee was in single digits when her mother accompanied Angelic Choir and James Cleveland on “Peace Be Still,” but she was electrified by the searing performances on the album. By the time she’d reached eighth grade, she was determined to be a music teacher.

The authenticity of gospel music is of foremost importance to me."

Her parents advised her to do otherwise. Minatee sang in the gospel choir at Newark Arts High and loved it, but when she enrolled in Kean College, she attempted to make a practical decision for her future.

“My mother did not believe that I could make any money in music,” says Minatee. “My first year and a half, I was a speech and hearing major — and I hated it. When I had to take a course called ‘The Anatomy and Physiology of the Ear,’ I said, ‘I can’t do this,’ and I moseyed across the campus to the music department. I graduated from Kean in 1981 with a music degree, and I never looked back.”

Her singers are happy that she did. It is a testament to Minatee’s leadership style that more than half of the current members of Jubilation have been with the 80-piece choir since its formation in 1998. Ken Matsuo, a Japanese-born singer who came to the United States in 1991 with the intention of joining a foot-stomping, hand-clapping gospel group, is one of those members. Matsuo, now a member of Minatee’s Englewood church, testifies to Rev. Minatee’s warmth, her creativity and her ability to prompt the glorious paradox that powers gospel choirs — everybody singing, often in unison, but each person visibly in the grip of a distinct personal experience.

“She’s not like, ‘You’d better do this," says Matsuo, who met Minatee at the initial auditions for the choir at NJPAC. “She isn’t that kind of a leader. She directs, and teaches us the song, but she doesn’t tell us what to do as far as technique. She gives us each opportunities to challenge ourselves, and periodically, she’ll give each member a solo, which shows us how choir leadership works.

“But basically she is leading a ministry. And when we sing, we are all singing to God.”

Matsuo describes an experience with which many practitioners of gospel music can identify. By falling into the music, singers achieve transcendence that takes them beyond words, and that underscores the importance of the community of worshippers. Yet instead of dissolving or negating the individuality of the choir members, the singers instead feel more fully themselves. Once experienced, it’s not something easily forgotten.

That shared experience of the peculiar joy of gospel singing helped level the ground between a talented New Jersey choirmaster and one of the giants of American popular music.

“Everybody in Jubilation has a lot of connections,” says Minatee. “The husband of one of the members of the choir somehow knew that Ray Charles wanted to record a gospel CD. They flew me out to California, and I went to Ray’s studio to meet him. I’m an old soul, and Ray and I hit it off, just talking about old gospel records and gospel singing. Then he told me, ‘Stefanie, whatever you want to do, I’ll do it.’

“This is Ray Charles, saying that to me! I couldn’t believe it. He even let us pick the songs.”

The “Ray Charles Celebrates a Gospel Christmas With the Voices of Jubilation” CD and DVD,, the fruit of that collaboration, was recorded in 2003 and released in 2004. It was one of Charles’ final projects.

By that time, Jubilation had been at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center for six years, singing annually at the Christmas and Martin Luther King Day celebrations. In January 2004, Rev. Minatee decided to leave NJPAC — and was surprised to find that the choir followed her.

The parting with the Performing Arts Center was amicable, and Jubilation continues to appear periodically on the Newark stage. Minatee has remained engaged with NJPAC — and as the arts center has stepped up its gospel bookings, its executives view her as a trusted adviser.

“She’s a very valuable resource for us,” says Donna Walker-Kuhne, vice president of marketing at NJPAC. “She’s helped us with our gospel programming, and to cultivate and deepen our relationships with leaders in faith-based communities. I respect and appreciate her goal to protect the authenticity of gospel and to remind people what it’s intended for. She wants to be sure that we’re taking the time to educate people about the history of gospel.”

Minatee’s own spiritual quest — her attempts to better understand the mysteries of her religion — continues, too. In 2003, she enrolled in Drew University in Madison, and graduated three years later with a master of theological studies degree. Minatee believes the study of theology made her a better minister — and opened her mind, too.

“I grew up a Baptist and I’m still a Baptist by choice,” says Minatee. “But Baptists have definite ways of doing things. Drew was so diverse and open, and I was trained to speak and see ministry as more of a universal language.

“The basis of gospel singing is our faith. I can’t say that if you don’t know God, you can’t sing, because we know that isn’t true. But at the same time, it is so much more fruitful, refreshing and fulfilling to know God. For people who don’t have that relationship, music is still a joy — and we believe that joy will bring everybody closer to the God we serve.”

ABOUT STEFANIE MINATEE

TRUE TO HER SCHOOL: Rev. Minatee badly wanted to teach at Arts High in Newark, but accepted a position in the Plainfield system, and stayed there until she retired in ’12.

HOMAGE TO RAY: The Jubilation holiday CD features a version of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” that borrows its arrangement from the Ray Charles version. It’s Minatee’s tribute to her inspiration — and friend.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS: Minatee had one sister, Stacy, who died at the age of 11, and has one brother, Steven, who she insists was a better musician than she was while they were growing up.

AN INSPIRATIONAL FLASHBACK: Part of the reason why Rev. Minatee joined the Community Baptist Church of Englewood was because PastorLester W. Taylor, who she describes as a powerful preacher, reminded her of Rev. Lawrence Roberts of the First Baptist Church of Nutley.

AN INFLUENTIAL FRIEND: Donald K. Tucker, a lion of Newark politics and a long-serving member of the City Council as well as a state Assemblyman, recommended Rev. Minatee to NJPAC.

ON DIVINITY SCHOOL: “Some of my classmates graduated summa cum laude, and some graduated magna cum laude. I just said, ‘Thank you, Laudy!"

Loyalty Matters
