A celebration of 75 years of Roosevelt University
1978
In 1978, Roosevelt opens its first satellite campus in Arlington Heights. As enrollment grew, the University relocated to the former Forest View High School. Roosevelt also offered extension classes in Logan Square, Downers Grove, Schaumburg and Waukegan.
Today Roosevelt reaches students online and at four campus locations: downtown Chicago, Schaumburg, Lake County and Peoria.
1987–Present
Professor Margaret Policastro started the new balanced literary program in one classroom of an Arlington Heights high school with a small group of children. Since then, the program has grown to instill a love of learning in hundreds of children across the state.
The Summer Reading Clinic, led by Roosevelt master’s in reading students, encourages reading skills and helps them build their social abilities. Read more in the Roosevelt Review.
