Individual award winners receive half and designate half to support the budget of a program or department of the winner\u2019s choice; team award winners designate the entire $2,500 prize to the program or department of the team\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n

Janice Holland<\/h2>\n

Holland has led several initiatives to bridge the gap between the University and the City of Rochester, along with a variety of community-based organizations, by addressing issues of disparity.<\/p>\n

The value she places on diversity, inclusion, and multiculturalism led Holland to provide job coaching to staff and students struggling to find their connection to the University. She has initiated numerous initiatives to serve the Greater Rochester community, such as an \u201cinterview bootcamp\u201d that teaches today\u2019s interview styles and trends to underrepresented and seasoned displaced workers.<\/p>\n

One Community<\/h2>\n

The Paul J. Burgett Intercultural Center coordinates the One Community program, which is held during orientation. The purpose of the program is to provide first-year students with the chance to spend time thinking carefully about their own identities; hear narratives of the experiences of others; and provide tools to address situations that arise from difficult topics such as race, class, ability, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and other identity markers.
