ab: Summary: Roosevelt University is a private, comprehensive master’s
    institution with a social justice mission. Faculty are expected to
    cultivate excellent teaching, create significant amounts of research,
    and perform much service work. It is challenging to find time for all
    three when they are approached as distinct tasks. The mathematics
    department has developed creative activities that integrate all of
    these professional responsibilities resulting in a significant change
    in departmental culture. Faculty have added large- and small-scale
    projects to courses. They are now working with more students on
    undergraduate research and have created a venue, the Math x-Position,
    to showcase student work. This was all accomplished by ongoing faculty
    mentoring, combining teaching and research, and by fostering a safe
    environment for innovation.
