In particular, the fellowship is geared towards those who have not yet learned how to translate their scholarship to public action, ensuring that their ideas help to shape the important conversations of our age.

Professor Peggy Stevenson receives the prestigious Innovation and Leadership Award from CSU Chancellor's Office
Professor Margaret (Peggy) Stevenson has received a Faculty Innovation and Leadership Award from the CSU Chancellor's Office for her work as Director for the Record Clearance Project (RCP).
Stevenson created RCP in 2008; since 2011, it has been formalized into three courses in the Department of Justice Studies. Under Stevenson's supervision, undergraduates gain hands-on experience in the legal system while changing lives of those in their community.
RCP has educated more than 11,000 community members on expungement law and employment rights of people with convictions, filed over 1,400 expungement petitions to court, and provided over 1,400 individual interviews to advise people of their next steps in clearing their records. RCP volunteers have delivered over 75,000 uncompensated hours of service.
Selected from 366 nominations, Stevenson was one of 26 recipients in the CSU system. Stevenson is redirecting her $5,000 award to help fund RCP.

Professor Dr. Edith Kinney receives CEED Faculty Service Award (2016 - 2017) from the College of Health and Human Sciences
Dr. Kinney has worked on numerous initiatives related to social justice, equity and diversity on our campus. She developed a partnership with a resource center on campus, MOSAIC Cross Cultural Center, that promotes diversity, awareness, social change, and cultural empowerment.
Dr. Kinney continues to play a key role in the planning and implementation of the annual Human Rights Lecture Series. In Spring 2015, Dr. Kinney assisted in a very successful and widely recognized event to date, where many founding members of the Black Lives Matter movement and a keynote lecture by Angela Davis presented to a standing room only crowd.
Dr. Kinney is almost constantly involved in human rights related programming on campus, including her upcoming event in partnership with the Campus Reads and Records Clearance Programs – a panel discussion on prisoner re-entry.
