Steinbacher, Ph.D., for her life's work as a Professor of Urban Studies 
at the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State 
University.
  Dr. Steinbacher received her Ph.D. in Social Psychology from St. 
Louis University in 1967. She taught at Marillac College and St. John's 
College, as well as St. Louis before coming to Cleveland State 
University, where she was appointed to the Psychology Department and 
the Institute of Urban Studies. After becoming Director of the 
Institute, she was instrumental in establishing the Maxine Goodman 
Levin College of Urban Affairs. While she was the Chair of the 
Department of Urban Studies, she helped create the B.A., M.A., and 
Ph.D. programs in Urban Studies at the College.
  Dr. Steinbacher also served the people of Ohio as the Administrator 
of the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services. After her tenure as 
administrator was over, she took the position of Director of 
Undergraduate Programs, where she established many new programs, 
including 4 new undergraduate majors, 20 degree completion programs 
with local community colleges, and a credit-for-life-experience 
program.
  The benefits of Dr. Steinbacher's scholarship to the field of urban 
studies are undeniable; her research has been published in a number of 
scholarly journals, and she is the co-author of both Introduction to 
Urban Studies and Man-made Women, An Analysis of New Reproductive 
Technologies. As a result of her work and research, Dr. Steinbacher has 
been honored with awards from several local organizations, including 
the Greater Cleveland YMCA, the City Club of Cleveland, Northern Ohio 
Live magazine, and Cleveland Magazine.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and recognition 
of Dr. Roberta Steinbacher for her dedication to the Maxine Goodman 
Levin College of Urban Affairs. She has touched the lives of countless 
students with her work in the classroom, and her continuing research 
and work as Director of Undergraduate Programs will allow future 
students to study in the important field of urban studies.
