The Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions recognized five faculty and four staff members for outstanding service to the college during the 2019-2020 academic year.

As Vice Dean Cynthia Lietz described the honorees, Dean Jonathan Koppell presented a crystal statuette to each one during the March 5 semi-annual meeting of the entire college faculty and staff.

These five faculty members were honored:

Karla Chicuate was intellectually acquainted with the morally evil practice of grooming, abducting and selling human beings for labor or sexual exploitation when she traveled in January to west Africa.

After all, she had been working as an educator with the city of Tempe’s Sexual Relationship and Violence Department for about a year and a half when her 10-day excursion began, and she intentionally chose the assignment to work with women and children who had endured human trafficking.
