The Glue That Holds it All Together
The CCPH Featured Member is Cynthia
Barnes-Boyd. Cynthia is Assistant Dean of Community Health in
the College of Nursing, at the University of Illinois at Chicago
(UIC). She is also the Director of Neighborhoods Initiative of the
Great Cities Institute at UIC, which brings together resources from
the community and the university to help strengthen the quality
of life for the benefit of current residents, businesses, the university,
and other institutions. In Cynthia's interview, she passionately
speaks on the necessity of building long-lasting relationships between
communities and universities to create successful partnerships.
"A distinctive characteristic is that we maintain relationships
over time. University staff and students come and go, projects start
and end and community organizations and those who run them change.
Our constant presence in the community arena is sometimes the glue
that holds it all together."
