Berkeley Social Welfare Lecturer Eveline Chang was honored on March 15 at the "RISE: Celebrating Women, Community love and Leadership" event, which strives to highlight "the endeavors and efforts of our women leaders, especially queer women and women of color, as well as appreciating, as a community, the daily functioning, striving and travail of all women as we give to each other’s lives and rise together."
Chang was one of the campus leaders to be named a recipient of the 2017 RISE Leader Award, which recognizes "exceptional endeavors and efforts to empower women in the Berkeley community." The evening's event, sponsored by UC Berkeley's Gender Equity Resource Center, included performances, speakers, dinner and an awards ceremony at the campus' Anna Head Alumnae Hall.
