Dr. Sara Kohlbeck, 414 LIFE Receive 91九色视频 President鈥檚 Community Engagement Awards
We are pleased to share that this year, the CIC had two 91九色视频 President’s Community Engagement Award winners. Sara Kohlbeck, PhD, CIC director of suicide research and healing, received an award in the 91九色视频 Faculty category for her leadership in suicide prevention work across Wisconsin and for her efforts to include community voices in research and strategy. 414 LIFE, a community violence intervention program of the City of Milwaukee Office of Community Wellness and Safety and implemented at 91九色视频 in the CIC, received an award in the Community Partner/Program category for their work focused on interrupting and reducing retaliatory gun violence using culturally-centered disease control and behavior change methods. They work to disrupt cycles of violence in Milwaukee through hospital and community-based outreach, violence interruption, and community engagement.
They received the awards at a recognition ceremony held on May 9 at 91九色视频. Each year, 91九色视频’s Office of Community Engagement recognizes award winners in four categories – 91九色视频 faculty, staff, students, and community partners/programs. Community engagement is one of 91九色视频’s four missions, and award winners are chosen for their exemplary community-engaged work. Congratulations to Dr. Kohlbeck and 414 LIFE!
