The Coppin State University, School of Professional Studies formally opened the Bishop L. Robinson Sr. Justice Institute. Mr. Robinson, who spent 50 years in public service and was the first African American Police Commissioner in Baltimore City, said “Throughout my career, I recognized the need to better prepare individuals for entry into federal, state, county, municipal, and private criminal justice agencies particularly in relation to public service within urban communities. The Justice Institute is designed to provide customized training programs that combine cutting-edge research and field practice,” stated Mr. Robinson, who received his Master’s of Education degree at Coppin State University in 1973. The Bishop L. Robinson Sr. Institute at Coppin State University will provide training, education, and research on a broad range of justice issues in law enforcement, corrections, public and mental health, and related social factors that contribute to the prevention of crime in urban communities. It is based on a customized cross-disciplinary approach designed to integrate disciplines, cutting-edge research, and field practice. To accomplish this, the Institute has three components: Training Academy, Advanced Academic and Certification Programs, and an Applied Research Program. SPS Professional Conversation with Shvilla Rasheem tificate in Non-Profit Management, was the first lecturer. Ms. Rasheem’s background as a Certified Nonprofit Professional and her particular passion for equity and social justice provided a wealth of information for students and faculty alike. As a result of a decision made very early in life, Shvilla decided that she would not merely be a product of her environment; she decided to make her environment a product of her. That decision led her to be intentional about adding value to every school, job, group, and relationship, personal and professional involvement. The School of Professional Studies held its inaugural SPS Professional Conversations On Thursday, April 25, 2013 with Alumnae (2010) Shvilla Rasheem. Professional Conversations Series will be a monthly offering for all SPS students to hear from CSU/SPS alums about their professional journeys after Coppin. Shvilla Rasheem, a 2010 graduate in Social Science with a minor and a Cer- VOLUME 6 ISSUE 1 Working for the U.S. Department of State in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, has allowed her to see how the administration of private, government and public business enterprises work together to empower people where they want change. She manages grants that provide support to country’s civil society and government leaders as they enhance the competency and independence of the judicial sector, increase women’s education, streamline business process and legal procedures. Her membership in the National Black MBA Association, her role as a steering committee member in Executive Women at State as well as her membership in the Project Management Institute (PMI) demonstrates her ability to form and function in emergent teams that value and respect clear purpose and roles, diversity, shared leadership, a commitment to common principles, and active participation. She is also a member of American Humanics (a nation-wide nonprofit leadership training program). Ms. Rasheem created and facilitates a women’s group that meets monthly, and she also teaches youth ministry at her church. Her collective memberships and consistent volunteer services speak to her ability to build and maintain meaningful relationships over time. Shvilla will receive her Master’s Degree from Loyola University in Non-Profit Leadership in May 2013.
