Seán Creagh was born in County Monaghan in 1977. He attended Our Lady's Secondary School in Castleblayney and later on Dundalk Institute of Technology. After moving to the U.S and developing an intense interest in Irish-American history he attended Northeastern Illinois University where he achieved an Honors Degree in History as well as Honors in Education. Today he is a middle school Social Studies teacher in Illinois. His first book was The Wolfhounds of Irish-American Nationalism. Listen to an interview on that here. In this interview he discusses his second book entitled Republican Solipsist, recently published with Peter Lang Republican Solipsist: The Life and Times of Joseph Mcgarrity, 1874-1940 (Peter Lang, 2025) discusses the life of Joseph McGarrity and his role within Irish and Irish American Republicanism including the complicated transatlantic relationship between two opposing visions of an independent Ireland. McGarrity's militant Republicanism came into regular conflict with the reality of the political situation in Ireland. While the role of John Devoy has been well documented in the development of Irish American nationalism in the form of Clan na Gael that of Joseph McGarrity has been less well analyzed. For many historians the central focus of Irish American nationalism during the revolutionary period of 1916–1923 has centered on the Devoy-controlled branch of Clan na Gael. However, this period saw significant influence from McGarrity and the Philadelphia branch of the movement in shaping political events in Ireland which has been largely ignored. The book places McGarrity at the center of Irish Republicanism during one of the most critical periods of its history. It is hard to imagine how militant Irish Republicanism would have evolved had it not been for the role and influence of this long-neglected figure in Irish history.

In this episode of the Higher Ed CMO Podcast, host Jaime Hunt welcomes Jennifer Lonchar, founder of Ambio, to explore the transformative potential of Performance TV for higher education marketing. Jennifer breaks down how this technology provides the reach of traditional TV with the precision of digital advertising, delivering measurable ROI and enabling schools to craft highly targeted campaigns. From personalized storytelling to integrating AI for advanced analytics, this episode is packed with actionable insights for enrollment marketers, advancement professionals, and beyond.Key TakeawaysPerformance TV bridges the gap between traditional TV's wide reach and digital advertising's precise targeting and ROI measurement.Household ID technology ensures ethical and accurate targeting without relying on personal data.Schools can track and optimize campaigns based on how audiences respond, ensuring data-driven decisions.Empathy-driven messaging—tailored commercials for each stage of the student journey—creates a transformative connection with prospective students.Performance TV can complement traditional channels, enhancing email engagement and boosting overall campaign effectiveness.What is Performance TV? Jennifer Lonchar introduces Performance TV as a game-changer in higher ed marketing. Unlike traditional streaming ads, Performance TV combines the broad reach of television with the precision and measurability of digital advertising. Using Household ID technology, this tool allows marketers to reach specific audiences—students and parents—while respecting privacy by avoiding personal identifiable information (PII).Performance TV makes it possible to measure ROI with clarity. Schools can track behaviors, such as how many users visit the admissions page or complete an application after seeing a commercial, providing actionable insights for optimizing campaigns.Empathy in Marketing: The Power of Storytelling One of the most compelling opportunities with Performance TV is its potential for empathy-driven messaging. Jaime and Jennifer discuss how understanding your audience's emotions and challenges can guide campaign creation. For instance, commercials could address financial aid complexities or highlight the lifelong friendships and connections fostered in college.By crafting ads tailored to specific stages in the enrollment funnel—student search, application, yield, and even summer melt—schools can resonate with their audiences on a deeper level. Jennifer emphasizes the importance of storytelling, citing examples of commercials that are memorable because they evoke emotions and build trust.Campaign Integration and Success Stories Performance TV is not a standalone solution but a powerful component of an integrated marketing strategy. Jennifer advises using it alongside email, social media, and other channels. For example, schools have seen higher engagement rates in email campaigns when paired with Performance TV exposure.Jennifer shares several success stories, such as the University of Iowa, which generated over 15,000 inquiries, applications, and event registrations during a three-month campaign. Another example is Northeastern Illinois University, which used bilingual commercials to engage diverse audiences and met their enrollment goals for the first time in years.The Future of Performance TV in Higher Ed As the landscape evolves, Jennifer predicts even more advanced integrations, such as interactive TV ads and greater use of AI for optimization. These innovations will allow schools to engage audiences more effectively and refine strategies in real-time. However, the adoption of such tools in higher ed will require marketers to move faster and embrace change.A New Era for Higher Ed Marketing Performance TV offers higher education institutions an unskippable, 30-second stage to tell their story, build trust, and inspire action.

With the U.S. election less than a week away, the hosts of Bonjour Chai are turning their attention south with a comprehensive pre-election primer. Pollsters tend to lump Jewish voters together in a bloc, but there are different priorities for Jewish communities across the United States—and Jewish residents of certain swing states, namely Pennsylvania, are seeing the brightest spotlight this year. Besides, there are issues on the ballot beyond antisemitism and relations with Israel. Affordability, the economy and religious issues such as abortion rights all figure into Jewish voting patterns. Does Vice-President Kamala Harris's Jewish husband tip the scales? Do former president Donald Trump's Jewish daughter and son-in-law? How did Oct. 7 change things? Or does none of that matter in a presidential election that could be won more on vibes than facts? To answer some of these questions, we're joined by William D. Adler, an associate professor at Northeastern Illinois University who specializes in American political development and the presidency.

Have you experienced an injury that just won't seem to heal? It may be time to look beyond the site of pain and consider the impact of stress on your body.    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Charlie Cates about  Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) - a unique approach to addressing pain and injury by focusing on the activation of inhibited muscles. Through targeted isometric contractions or manual stimulation, MAT aims to restore efficient muscle contraction, allowing the body to better withstand external forces and protect itself from pain and injury.   We discuss MAT compared to other modalities and the fact that MAT recognizes that the source of the problem may not always be local. This conversation offers advice on the benefits of MAT, and how it can increase longevity and physical freedom. By helping to heal and prevent long-term, nagging injuries, MAT can keep people engaged in their favorite activities.   Overall this episode offers guidance on using MAT to identify the true source of the pain problem, improve communication within the body, and keep muscles functioning well    Charlie Cates graduated from Northeastern Illinois University, where he earned a Master of Science degree in exercise science. He specializes in helping his clients and community live healthier and stronger lives through exercise that is sustainable and pain-free. He is a certified Muscle Activation Techniques® practitioner and is one of Chicago's most sought-after specialists for muscle and joint issues.   He authored the book “The Exercise For Life Method”, and co-hosts the Exercise Is Health® podcast with his wife, Julie.

Once activated, the muscles can contract more efficiently, withstanding greater external forces and protecting the body from pain or injury. MAT views these neurological weaknesses as communication issues rather than strength issues, and the assessment identifies positions where muscles cannot contract or sustain contraction on demand. MAT is different from other modalities in the fact that it specifically addresses the dormant muscles that aren't working properly.  Just because the pain is local, doesn't mean the problem is local.  If you want to be active, MAT can keep you active. It helps heal and prevent long-term, nagging injuries. It also helps people recover faster after surgery if they incorporate MAT before surgery. MAT offers longevity and physical freedom by keeping your muscles functioning well and even contributes to bone health.   

The U.S. is wrestling with a massive mental health crisis - impacting young people in particular. Half of young adults and one-third of all adults report that they always feel anxious or have often felt anxiety in the past year. One-third of respondents could not get the mental health services they needed. Why? 80% say they couldn't afford the cost and more than 60% said that shame and stigma kept them away. The shortage of mental health providers also means that care can be very hard to find, even when we try hard to find it. Usually on the Medicare for All Podcast, we focus on the stories we think you need to know about. Today we decided to scrap the show and come up with a plan to get an hour of free therapy!* (*Not really. None of this information is intended as medical advice.) Our guests today are Dr. Pamela Fullerton and Lindsay Baish.  Lindsay is a therapist and an Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Illinois and a certified trauma professional – and former volunteer for the podcast. Dr. Pamela Fullerton, Ph.D., is the founder and clinical director of Advocacy & Education Consulting, a counseling and consulting organization dedicated to ensuring social justice and advocacy through equitable access to mental health and well-being services. She is a Latina bilingual Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), a Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy professional (C-DBT), a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), a Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP), and a clinical supervisor and consultant specializing in working with BIPOC communities, undocumented communities, immigration and acculturation, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and career counseling. In addition to being a professional writer and speaker, Dr. Fullerton is an adjunct instructor in the Counselor Education department at Northeastern Illinois University. She is also a volunteer contributing writer for three publications and runs a nonprofit to support Latinx youth in the Chicagoland area. Dr. Fullerton consults for two behavioral health advisory boards, Sinai Urban Health Institute (SUHI) and Illinois Unidos/Latino Policy Forum, providing advice and input to assist in promoting health equity and justice initiatives for underserved communities in Illinois.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGql7_NXhts Show Notes Pam tells us that counselling is a subset of psychiatry and psychology that started as a movement for career development for veterans returning from war. The profession started helping people through life transitions puts people and their lives and livelihoods at the center. Lindsay notes that a lot of the language of mental healthcare is used interchangeably, but there are distinctions: psychologists have PhDs and can provide therapists; psychiatrists have MDs and can prescribe medications. Counselors and therapists can diagnose but not prescribe. Congress passed the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act in 2008 to prevent insurers from providing worse coverage for mental health than they do for medical or surgical treatment. However, mental health providers are not usually treated the same as medical doctors when it comes to insurance coverage and payments. Historically, counselors are the newest mental health clinicians on the scene and are more limited by insurers than more established clinicians like social workers or psychologists. Insurers often only reimburse for certain therapeutic models of care (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example) leaving other kinds of counseling uncovered in the midst of a crisis in mental healthcare. Pam tells us that a big part of her job is the extra work to navigate her patients' insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid in order to get coverage for their care. Most Americans can't afford to pay out of pocket for mental healthcare. Counselors just got approved for Medicare reimbursement on January 1, 2024,

Despite strides towards gender equality, women have long been underrepresented in educational leadership, facing systemic biases that hinder their advancement. In this episode, School Superintendent Lisa Leali sheds light on the pervasive biases that continue to shape perceptions of women in leadership. She emphasized that while progress has been made, there is still much work to be done in dismantling the structural barriers that prevent women from ascending to positions of power and influence. The road to leadership is often fraught with challenges, and for women, these challenges can be compounded by societal expectations and cultural norms. From implicit bias in hiring practices to the lack of representation in decision-making bodies, women face systemic hurdles at every turn. In addition to advocating for systemic change, Lisa emphasizes the importance of mentorship and support networks for women in leadership. She believes that by lifting each other up and sharing our experiences, we can create a more supportive and empowering ecosystem for women leaders to thrive. What actionable steps can we take to dismantle systemic biases and create more inclusive environments for women in educational leadership?   Takeaways Building trust and collaboration are essential for navigating challenging situations. Addressing achievement gaps and improving equity should be a priority in education. Leaders should seek resources, learn from others, and create a culture of continuous improvement. Barriers for women in leadership roles need to be addressed, and the selection process for superintendents should be reevaluated.   Dr. Lisa Leali has been Superintendent of Schools for Lake Bluff Elementary School District 65 since July 2020.  Dr. Leali has over 20 years of experience in public education and earned her master's degree in Educational Leadership in 2007 from Northeastern Illinois University and her doctorate in Educational Leadership in 2010 from National-Louis University. Her dissertation was titled “Joyful Classrooms, Successful Kids: A study in the connection between joy and learning.” Leali has served as a consultant on standards-based reporting and writing instruction for school districts in Lake and Cook Counties, has presented regionally for the Illinois Association for Curriculum Development on data and assessment and has presented nationally on the topics of instructional coaching, district leadership and superintendent evaluation.   Learn more about Dr. Lisa Leali: Lake Bluff School District 65 Website: https://www.lb65.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-leali-she-her-hers-a2b0ab53/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LisaLeali   Learn more about creating better learning environments at www.Kay-Twelve.com.

This podcast episode discusses the fear and anxiety that often arise when we want to try new things. Host Cynthia Coufal interviews Emily Drake, a guest expert who helps people overcome these challenges.Emily Drake is the Owner and CEO of The Collective Academy, a leadership development firm that creates programs to help individuals cultivate sustainable leadership skills and organizations build thriving communities and workplace cultures. She is also the host of the Who's Missing Podcast. In each episode, Emily's guests dive into how and why they chose their unique paths – personal and professional – and what they learned along the way. She has a BA in English from Augustana College and an MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northeastern Illinois University. Key Points:Our brains often try to sabotage us with negativity when we consider new things. This negativity can manifest as self-doubt, fear of failure, and worries about what others will think.The first step is self-awareness. Understand your strengths and values, regardless of the environment you're in. Don't let labels or past experiences define you.Take small steps to build the skill of novelty. This could involve trying a new food, watching a different TV show, or even just walking a different route to school. These low-stakes experiences help you get comfortable with the unfamiliar.Connect with others who can support you. Surround yourself with positive and encouraging people who will celebrate your efforts and help you step outside your comfort zone.Practice regulating your emotions. Learn techniques like mindfulness and deep breathing to manage anxiety in the moment.Expand your circle and seek out diverse perspectives. This can help you learn new things and challenge your own biases.Additional Notes:The episode mentions that traditional education often emphasizes areas of weakness rather than strengths. This can contribute to negative self-talk and hinder exploration.The importance of open communication between parents and teenagers is highlighted. Creating a safe space for dialogue can encourage teens to share their fears and seek support.The episode concludes with a call to action for both teens and adults: step outside your comfort zone, embrace novelty, and seek out connections with others who can support your growth.https://www.thecollective-academy.com/Instagram: @emdrake, @the_collective_academy, @whosmissingpodcast // LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilydrake/Email Emily:contact@thecollective-academy.com Find my podcastEmail me: ccoufal@cynthiacoufalcoaching.comText me: 785-380-2064More information

Humans have harnessed and selectively bred livestock in Kazakhstan for over 5,000 years. This lecture discusses the history and current practices of pastoralism in Kazakhstan, exploring the contemporary interaction shared among people, animals, and ecosystems and the advantages of incorporating ancient lifeways among those who herd livestock in Kazakhstan today. Other topics include the necessity to “re-wild” environments and to expand the decision-making capacity of smallholders, as climate change causes radical reassessments of everyday planning and actions. - Russell Zanca is a Professor of Anthropology at Northeastern Illinois University.

Manish Kumar is Vice President of Finance and Administration at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. In this episode, he joins our host Donna Schiele to talk about federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institutions, strategies to help grow enrollment, and the importance of understanding shared governance for the academic system.   “Like every institution during the Pandemic, it has affected our minority students very disproportionately,” he says. He talks about why it's important to help those students stay on track during school and graduate on time. “The national trend has been enrollment going down overall.” He goes on to talk about how more students are moving out of Chicago and the state, and how that's a challenge for them in their competitive market.   Join us for a conversation with Manish as he talks about the mission and vision to serve, the joy of seeing students on campus again, and doing what no one else wants to do.

We're back! We're so excited to return to our podcast! It's been a crazy 6 months. Doug graduated from Northeastern Illinois University with a degree in Communications, Media, and Theatre and Creative Writing. We went on hiatus so he could focus on finishing strong. But now that he's done we're commited more than ever to making this podcast a community for listeners. Because he was so busy we missed out on the opportunity to talk about some really big releases from 2022, such as : The Batman, X, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Top Gun: Maverick, Elvis, Crimes of the Future, Prey, Nope, Halloween Ends, and the list goes on. But hopefully we can talk about those in retrospective episodes. So, we decided that our first episode of the new year should be a look forward to all the upcoming releases for the new year! And here is a link to Doug's new blog! https://www.works-by-dougstriffolino.com

On this Episode of the Enrollment Edge I talk to Kimberley Buster-Williams,  Vice President for Enrollment Management at Northeastern Illinois University. Kimberley is conducting research exploring the state of retention and succession within higher education. Her findings are shocking but not all that surprising. Professionals throughout the industry have become more aware of the fragile nature of careers within higher ed. Whether it's career burnout, greener pastures, the stress and anxiety tied to the nature of the business, or the “you only live once” mentality – higher ed professionals are leaving their careers without a succession plan for their position.For those of you who are making plans for your retirement or are thinking about moving out of the business of higher education, I hope this episode is encouraging and motivating to you.If you're interested in participating in Kimberley's doctoral dissertation research on succession planning, see the links we provided in the show notes. I know she would be happy to answer any questions you may have.Below is a survey link with some information.

Since 2000, Robyn Flakne has been the Natural Resources Manager for the Village of Glenview. The position has allowed her to be involved with restoring and creating naturalized open space and green infrastructure throughout the municipality, starting with the redevelopment of a former naval air station. The West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River has been a major focus as approximately 70% of the Village's stormwater drains to this waterway. The Village has implemented several water quality improvement projects, including streambank stabilization and naturalization, detention basin naturalization, adding riffles and pools, and some channel re-meandering. Robyn has obtained funding and managed engineering and construction bids and volunteer workdays for these projects. She also serves as staff liaison to the Village's volunteer Environment and Natural Resources Commission. Robyn also serves as the Tree Preservation Officer for the Village, administering the Tree Preservation Ordinance as it applies to tree removal on private property. She is co-chair of the Chicago Region Trees Initiative's Trees and Green Infrastructure work group and a member of the Executive Board of the North Branch Watershed Working Group.  She also teaches Forest Resources, Green Infrastructure and Wildlife Resources at Northeastern Illinois University.Questions or comments?themunicipalarborist@gmail.comhttps://www.instagram.com/the_municipal_arborist/Don't forget to click the link for ISA CEU'S:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TRM3K5TThanks to this episodes sponsors!https://planitgeo.com/Municipal-Arborist-Podcasthttps://www.aspenfuels.us/https://www.rainbowecoscience.com/products/mectinite

obituary courtesy of the International Society of Bassists: The ISB is sad to learn of the passing yesterday of bassist, composer, educator and recording artist Kelly Sill. He was 70 years old. Kelly was a beloved mainstay of the Chicago jazz scene for more than 35 years. Born in Fargo, North Dakota, he grew up in the Chicago area. After receiving his bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he returned to Chicago to perform and record with jazz artists such as Art Blakey, Joe Henderson, Art Farmer, Clark Terry, Cedar Walton, Herb Ellis, Woody Shaw, Hank Jones, Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessel, Chris Potter, Ernie Watts, Bob Mintzer, Mel Torme, Anita O'Day, Jackie McLean, Joey DeFrancesco, Donald Byrd, Eddie Harris, Scott Hamilton, Victor Lewis, Clifford Jordan and Bucky Pizzarelli. He performed at the Chicago Jazz Festival, the Elkhart Jazz Festival, the Red Sea Jazz Festival, Thessaloniki Concert Hall in Greece and Symphony Center in Chicago. Kelly's discography includes more than fifty recordings as a sideman and leader.   Kelly served on the faculties of Northeastern Illinois University, Lake Forest College, DePaul University and Northern Illinois University. He also taught at the Interlochen Arts Camp, Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshop, Janice Borla Vocal Jazz Camp, University of Wisconsin/Stevens Point Jazz Camp, Clark Terry Great Plains Jazz Camp and the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) Summer Music Program.   Saxophonist Gregory Dudzienski recalls his friend: "Kelly was one of the warmest, most welcoming, supportive, and funniest people I've ever had the fortune to spend time with. He had that way of interacting with you, that way of giving you his full attention and self that made it feel like you were the most important person in the world to him. That way of interacting carried into his playing as well."   Subscribe to the podcast to get these interviews delivered to you automatically!   Check out our Online Sheet Music Store with 100+ wide-ranging titles for bassists.   Listen to Contrabass Conversations with our free app for iOS, Android, and Kindle.

Welcome motivational speaker and executive coach Johan Martinez-Khalilian. His message of perseverance and resilience has fostered the interest of a number of TV and radio shows, including The Tyra Banks Show, TEDx, and the Today Show. "We will choose the route of least resistance, instead of choosing to look foolish for a season in order to acquire the thing that you want.” - Johan Khalilian Johan sits down with Ruben to talk about the immense value of working with a great coach no matter your profession or personality. He explains how to live by a “play to win” mentality without neglecting or, worse, hurting those around you on your path to success. He assures us that you don't have to go and accomplish at the cost of everyone around you—a way of life rooted not in service, but in selfishness. Finally, Johan encourages us to choose surrender over being “right”, and to choose love over fear in all of our conversations and decisions. "I want to use my voice to help liberate people. I want to use my choices to invite people into possibilities.” - Johan Khalilian SUBSCRIBE to Live Through Love so you never miss an episode & RATE/REVIEW it on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.

This is a recording of Masayuki Tashima's testimony at the public hearing during the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians in Chicago, September 1981.

Hearing before the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (Chicago), September 22-23, 1981. 10. The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) was created in 1980 to investigate the constitutional and ethical objections of Executive Order 9066. The CWRIC executed an official evaluation of the order and its impact on the formerly interned and their families, starting the process of reparations to the Japanese Americans for the time, property, and liberty they had lost. The CWRIC reviewed the facts and circumstances surrounding Executive Order 9066 and its impact on the affected; the Committee also sought appropriate remedies. In order to fulfill that mandate, the CWRIC held twenty days of hearings in cities throughout the United States: Anchorage, Cambridge, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. The CWRIC heard testimonies from more than 750 witnesses of the internment experience. The results of these national hearings led to the passage of the Civil Liberties Act, which was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. This federal law granted the victims of the internment a formal government apology and financial reparations for the losses they had suffered.
