From The President
New Year, New Beginnings The new year brings some new beginnings for ICEE and its friends. We are pleased to announce the opening of a new Center for Economic Education at Dominican University in River Forest. Housed in the Brennan School of Business, the Dominican Center will be headed by Dr. Dan Condon, Professor of Economics. A reception was held on the Dominican campus in November to celebrate the official opening of the Center. The Dominican University Center will provide teacher professional development and other economics and personal finance programs for schools in Cook (outside of the City of Chicago), DuPage and Lake Counties. A friend of the Council, former Chicago City Treasurer Judith Rice, has begun a new role with the City of Chicago as Deputy Chief of Staff in Mayor Daley’s office. Ms. Rice has been a strong partner with ICEE in providing financial literacy education for Chicago Public Schools through the Financial Fitness For Kids initiative. She has also supported the Council’s Stock Market Game™ program in Chicago schools. We wish her the best in her new position!As the new semester begins for you, we invite you to try something new – a workshop, seminar, course, curriculum – from your local Center or Office for Economic Education, that will enrich the learning experience for your students and add excitement to your work. Happy New Year!
