Meet Spertus Director of Academic Communications Eve Becker
Spertus Institute is proud to welcome award-winning writer and content strategist Eve Becker in a position new to the Spertus team, Director of Academic Communications.
Becker will serve as a key member of Spertus Institute’s academic team, developing integrated communications strategies to expand awareness of our academic programs and the impact that our alumni bring to Jewish communities around the world.
In announcing her appointment, Spertus Dean and Chief Academic Officer Dr. Keren E. Fraiman said, “For centuries, storytelling has been part of Jewish practice, helping us derive meaning and relay knowledge. At Spertus, Eve will continue this powerful narrative tradition. She’ll serve as the institution’s chief storyteller, highlighting our academic initiatives, the contributions of our faculty to their fields, and the successes of our students.”
Originally from Philadelphia, Becker came to the Midwest as a University of Michigan student. Since then, she has made Chicago her home. She is excited to bring her years of communications expertise to Spertus.
Before joining the Spertus team, Becker served as Editorial Director, Advancement Communications, at DePaul University. She has worked for a range of consumer and specialty publications, and, earlier in her career, she served as Managing Editor of Tribune Media Services, where she handled syndicated columns, features, comic strips, and crossword puzzles. This experience has all of us at Spertus a bit awed. (We have dreams of a Spertus crossword.)
Becker arrives at Spertus at a pivotal moment, as we celebrate our first 100 years of Jewish education and look ahead to a future of continued programmatic advancement and geographic growth.
