UNP Received Honorable Mention at the 9th Annual CCPH Conference
Rosey and I attended the Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) Annual Award
conference in Portland, Oregon, May 13–15, 2010. The award recognizes exemplary partnerships
between communities and higher educational institutions that build on each others
strengths to improve higher education, civic engagement, and overall health of communities.
The intent of the award is to highlight the power and potential of community-campus
partnerships as a strategy for social justice. These partnerships are striving to
achieve the systems and policy changes needed to overcome the root causes of health,
social, and economic inequalities.
Three partnerships received honorable mentions:
Community University Partnership Programme (Brighton, England); University Neighborhood Partners (Salt Lake City, Utah); and Bronx Youth as Partners (Bronx, New York).
We accepted our award proudly and were very delighted to be in the presence of others striving to achieve the necessary changes to make this world a better place. We also attended various workshops and do on-site visits to community-based organizations.
I’m proud to be associated with a fine organization that’s making a difference.
