Joanne Howard, Assistant Clinical Professor at Illinois Institute of Technology, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Educators for dedication, achievements, and leadership in public policy education.
After initially obtaining a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Hampton Institute, now known as Hampton University, in Hampton, Virginia in 1976, Dr. Howard subsequently earned a Master of Public Administration from the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh in 1977. She later continued her education with a PhD in public administration from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2005. Dr. Howard provided superior education with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and DePaul University and then as director of administrative services in the office of development at the University of Chicago from 1982 to 1990 and with the Northwestern University School of Law from 1992 to 1997.
Dr. Howard has made an impact as director of professional development with the Government Finance Officers Association and as senior consultant for nonprofits and education at the Metro Chicago Information Center (MCIC), and as an assistant professor with Roosevelt University from 2007 to 2015. Since the latter year, she has flourished as an assistant clinical professor with the Illinois Institute of Technology and since 2020 as senior policy advisor with Conlon Public Strategies, a strategic firm focused on the pursuit of growth and opportunity. Dr. Howard’s path to a career in education was encouraged by her father, who worked for the Department of Defense as the director of education for a military installation in New Jersey. In the near future, she is looking forward to publishing a book that she edited that looks at the government, non-profit organizations and health care through the lens of COVID-19.
