Dr. Mariana L. Ferreira is one of the 2009 Bay Area Regional nominees for the Jefferson Awards for Public Service. A medical anthropologist specializing in the social determinants of illnesses Ferreira was nominated for the Jefferson Award because of her extraordinary commitment to Human Rights issues. She is nationally recognized for her work in promoting the social and emotional well-being of indigenous peoples, and for her belief that access to good food, respect for cultural traditions, and integrative therapies are basic human rights. Organizer of five Human Rights Summits at SF State, Ferreira challenges her students to explore the contributions of anthropology to the theoretical and practical concerns of human rights work.

ICCE Community Scholarship Faculty Grants Program
ICCE is currently soliciting proposals for mini grants to foster faculty community scholarship. Funds for these awards are made possible from the generous support of California Campus Compact and the Corporation for National and Community Service, Learn and Serve America.
Faculty Curriculum Development Grants (Category B): These individual faculty grants are designed to support courses not yet designated as Community Service Learning (CSL). All part-time and full-time SF State faculty are eligible to apply. Unfortunately, lecturers and faculty who are on early retirement (FERP) are not eligible. The breakdown of funds for these grants will be: $2,400 for Student Assistant Support; $300 for Supplies and Services; and $200 for Travel. The total award may not exceed $2,900.
We are particularly interested in courses that propose working with NEN University (NENu) in priority areas as defined by designated neighborhoods that emphasize civic engagement. NENu is a joint collaboration between the ICCE and the Neighborhood Empowerment Network, a department within the City and County of San Francisco. The goal of NENu is to create a collaborative platform that will allow the City and County of San Francisco, the Bay Area's academic community, and local neighborhood stakeholders to form partnerships that will create stronger, more resilient neighborhoods.

Jefferson Awards for Public Service
In January, 2005, the Institute for Civic and Community Engagement (ICCE) became one of 49 organizations in the Bay Area to join the Jefferson Awards for Public Service Civic Engagement. This initiative recognizes individuals who make a difference on a daily basis in their local communities. ICCE is now accepting nominations for the Jefferson Awards for Public Service.
Faculty, staff, students, and/or community partners may nominate an individual for the award based on the following achievements:
* Special courage, commitment, tenacity, or vision that has gone "unsung" and has not been previously recognized;
* Their actions have had a positive impact and benefited others in the community.
