When B. Dana Kivel took over as director of 萨克拉门托 State’s 社区参与 Center (CEC) in January 2014, it had no full-time leader, almost no full-time staff, and very little actual engagement with the local community.
现在，当Kivel重新担任公园、娱乐和旅游管理的教授时，他们离开了一个强大的、人员充足的中心，每年派遣数千名学生志愿者到校园和整个地区做有益的工作。
It’s just one reason the CSU chose Kivel to receive a 2020-21 博彩平台 Faculty Innovation & Leadership Award. 生物学教授凯利·麦克唐纳也获得了FILA的荣誉。
“I truly believe that there could not be a more deserving individual,” said University President Robert S. Nelsen. “Their accomplishments epitomize how justice-oriented community engagement can lead to transformative change on a campus and in a region.”
Kivel将获得5000美元的现金奖励，他们的学术部门将获得1万美元的专业活动奖金。
“I am humbled beyond measure to be considered for the Faculty Innovation & Leadership Awards program,” said Kivel, who has worked tirelessly on behalf of students and the community since coming to 萨克拉门托 State as a professor in 2003.
Last year, they took on the monumental task of leading the 囊状态 team that compiled hundreds of documents detailing the campus’s work in the community, which resulted in the University being named a 2020 Carnegie Community-Engaged Campus.
博彩平台是美国仅有的119所获得卡内基教学促进基金会认可的大学之一。
Among Kivel’s other achievements that impressed the award selection committee:
- 开发创新课程，如种族、阶级、性别和休闲，使学生能够与不同的人群一起工作。
- 与历史系教员合作制定了一项关于服务学习和学术实习的校园政策。
- 与校园内的教师合作，制定并确保学生在学术实习中的合规指导方针，降低学生实习生的风险。
- Co-founded Community Against Sexual Harm (CASH), a peer-based organization for 萨克拉门托’s sex workers. 2009年，Kivel因其与CASH的合作获得了萨特社区奖。
- 通过CEC，我领导了萨克州立大学的学生团队，他们志愿为“油漆小镇”、“土壤农场”和“河城食品银行”服务。
- 由萨克拉门托市长Heather Fargo和Kevin Johnson任命为橡树公园重建咨询委员会成员。
- Appointed by District 4 City Council member Steve Hansen to serve on the Measure U citizens’ advisory committee.
- 在更大的舞台上，两次在盐湖城和印第安纳波利斯举行的国家娱乐和公园协会大会上共同主持休闲研究研讨会，并在以色列本古里安大学领导定性研究方法集体记忆工作的跨学科培训。
- 发表了超过32篇单独和合作撰写的期刊文章和书籍章节，并参与编辑了两本书。
Kivel, a tenured professor since 2009, earned a doctorate in Education from the University of Georgia and a master’s degree in Recreation 政府 from San Francisco State University. Their undergraduate work resulted in a degree in Print Media and a certificate in Women’s Studies, both from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
在博彩平台的17年里，Kivel一直是一位孜孜不倦和富有创造力的领导者，致力于支持学生和萨克拉门托社区。
“I have worked in my communities and on my campus to move the needle of change and, importantly, to establish systems that will sustain change, something that was recognized in the 2020 Carnegie 社区参与 Classification process,” Kivel said.
“Whether teaching in the classroom or directing the 社区参与 Center, where we cultivated more than 500 community partnerships and support more than 500 faculty to teach community-engaged learning with 5,000 students, I am dedicated to the work of supporting students to grow, think critically, read, reflect, and write, so they know they can ‘be’ as well as ‘do,’ because their individual experiences are tied to collective action.”
