Exceptional Service Award in Medical Education Christina Cicoletti, MA As Executive Director for Assessment, Curriculum, and Evaluations (ACE), Christina is an extraordinary contributor to the UCSF education mission.

Christina focuses on providing a coordinated approach to supporting the School of Medicine curriculum and its students' success. Christina demonstrates a nuanced understanding of medical education, school and campus policies, and guiding principles. She mentors her direct reports and their team members with empathy and compassion and approaches every challenge with a commitment to doing the best for students while ensuring that staff are supported, appreciated, and rewarded for their excellence. Her nominators note, “Christina’s positive can-do attitude is infectious. Even when her unit experienced staffing shortages, it was not apparent as there was no reduction in the quality or quantity of work produced by her and her team.

When Christina hears of a problem, she quickly frames the key issues and identifies the individuals who need to be involved or consulted in crafting a solution. By engaging the right stakeholders, she helps the OME unit overcome resistance or fear of change and leverages the right talent for the particular situation.”

Keynote Speaker Tricia Rose, PhD Tricia Rose is an internationally respected, awardwinning scholar of post-civil rights era Black U.S. culture, social issues and gender.

Born and raised in Harlem and the Bronx in New York City, Professor Rose earned a BA in Sociology at Yale and a PhD in American Studies at Brown University. She has held faculty appointments at Rutgers, NYU and UC Santa Cruz.

In 2006 Professor Rose joined the faculty at Brown, where she now serves as Chancellor’s Professor of Africana Studies, Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America, and Associate Dean of the Faculty for Special Initiatives.

Professor Rose’s ground-breaking book, Black Noise: Rap Music and Black Culture in Contemporary America, was the first significant analysis of hip hop as an expression of Black cultural and technological innovation in the context of urban disinvestment and decline – and is considered the definitive foundational text in the field. Among its many accolades, Black Noise was recognized by Black Issues in Higher Education as one of the ‘Top Books of the 20th Century.’

Her latest project – which includes an upcoming new book, as well as an interactive multimedia experience funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation – shines a clarifying spotlight on how systemic racism works in America.

Professor Rose’s lectures on systemic racism have positively influenced a wide range of international audiences and stakeholder groups – academic, corporate, non-profit, governmental and more.

Her aim is to help leaders and their teams understand how systemic racism – rather than individual racial animus or bias – shapes complex decisions and outcomes across an organization’s internal and external environments – thereby enabling a more informed perspective to drive equitable, effective, and sustainable growth.
