Overview
- Roosevelt University, in coverage Monday, detailed a new teaching-and-course role that extends Joabe Barbosa’s stay through 2028.
- Earlier this year he went unmatched for a required clinical internship, which put his F-1 student visa at risk.
- The plan has him teach two undergraduate classes while taking another course, which keeps him enrolled and legally in the country.
- He plans to finish his every-street quest with a public run on June 14 from Oak Street and Michigan Avenue to Buckingham Fountain.
- Community support, including a GoFundMe that raised more than $8,000, helped cover visa costs and drew attention that university leaders acted on.
