Syracuse University will honor students, faculty, staff and community partners who exemplify SU’s commitment to engagement with the community and Scholarship in Action with the 2013 Chancellor’s Award for Public Engagement and Scholarship (CAPES). The awards will be given at a ceremony on Wednesday, April 24, at 5:30 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium in Newhouse 3.

SU students, faculty and staff engage in tens of thousands of hours of community-based work in the Syracuse community, the Central New York region and the world. Public scholarship is done through a myriad of SU/community partnerships and programs across campus, as well as the  Mary Ann Shaw Center for Public and Community Service. The Chancellor’s Award for Public Engagement and Scholarship recognizes commitment to Scholarship in Action and investment in the public good.

The Shaw Center has named the Rescue Mission as its 2013 Community Partner.

“The robust engagement work SU students, faculty and staff are involved with locally, regionally and globally is celebrated at the CAPES event,” says Pamela Kirwin Heintz, associate vice president and director of the Shaw Center. “We thank our community partners for the time and energy they commit to SU here and around the globe, helping us all learn about and better understand the complexities in our world. More importantly, they teach us how to partner and engage with community to build capacity and explore solutions. Their commitment helps us all construct experiences and learning that would not be possible alone.”

Alyssa Ierardo ’13, The College of Arts and Sciences/ Renée Crown University Honors Program—Ierardo’s interest in learning about disenfranchised groups, especially the Congolese refugees who recent immigrated to Syracuse, has brought her leadership roles during community engagement projects and has inspired her classmates to reach out to this new community. For two summers, Ierardo has traveled to Tanzania with One Heart Source, an international NGO, where she volunteered in a public health clinic for HIV/AIDS and as an English language teaching assistant. Following graduation, she will volunteer at a summer camp for children and teens with life-threatening diseases, and has applied to the Peace Corps.

The new store, 3fifteen, opened in August 2012 and generated more than $20,000 in its first week. Loojune is also dedicated to bettering the Whitman community, where she has had an active part in selecting the new dean and is a member of the Undergraduate Board Committee. Through Enactus, Loojune worked on collaborative effort with Chadwick Residence, a transitional home for women and their children, to help women obtain their GED, find employment and become self-sufficient, obtain their green card and work toward citizenship.
