Simon has been fighting for social justice since her teenage years and at 26, was one of the youngest people to be awarded a MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship, which she received for her work with at-risk young women in San Francisco. Born and raised in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood, Simon was 15 when she first volunteered at the Center for Young Women's Development, a program that helps homeless, low-income and incarcerated young women build healthier lives. She became a staff member, and at 19, was appointed executive director, becoming one of the nation’s youngest leaders of a social service agency. Simon later worked for San Francisco district attorney Kamala D. Harris’s office where she helped launch new programs to provide formerly-incarcerated youth with educational and employment opportunities. Simon is currently the executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, which advances the rights and builds the economic power of communities of color, immigrants and refugees, through litigation, policy advocacy and direct service.

Read Newsmakers: www.sfsu.edu/~news/cmemo/spring10/may3news.htm New way to submit events to CampusMemo CampusMemo now picks up event listings directly from the University Calendar to streamline the events publicity function for campus units. Departments interested in publicizing an event in CampusMemo simply need to register the event on the University Calendar by 10 a.m. on Wednesday of the previous week. To submit an event, go to www.sfsu.edu/calendar/ and click on "Submit an Event" in the left-hand navigation bar. This new procedure saves event sponsors the extra step of entering information specifically for CampusMemo, and the later deadline for submittal allows more time for event sponsors to submit their items to CampusMemo.
