CSWAC Members Awarded UCLA Public Impact Research Awards
Two members of CSWAC were awarded UCLA Public Impact Research Awards. Congratulations to Nicholas Shapiro, Assistant professor as the UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics, and Hannah Appel, Associate professor of Anthropology and Associate director of the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy.
The annual awards, given by the UCLA Office of Research and Creative Activities, provide a platform to celebrate the efforts of faculty translating research into positive public action that benefits local, national and global communities. An awards ceremony will be scheduled for later in the year.
“One of UCLA’s highest priorities is to demonstrate to the community that our research and creative activities have a positive public impact,” said Roger Wakimoto, UCLA’s vice chancellor for research and creative activities. “Indeed, the Public Impact Awards are strongly aligned with both goals one and three in the UCLA strategic plan.”
