AHLAM AL-KODMANY, PhD, Vice-Chair of APAC, Chair of the CAPE (Chancellor’s
Academic Professional Excellence) Award Committee, member of the University
Professional Personnel Advisory Committee (UPPAC), and Administrative Director
of the University of Illinois Cancer Center, was named an Outstanding Woman of
Excellence by Chicago’s 7th Congressional District Multi Ethnic Advisory Task
Force in a ceremony earlier this year.
ESTABLISHED IN 2010 by Congressman
Danny K. Davis (D-7th), the task force and its annual awards
gala is a community initiative to recognize women from different ethnic
backgrounds who have made significant contributions to their respective fields
and communities.
AL-KODMANY, WHO is Palestinian-American, is one of 15 women recognized by the
task force in 2017 for her exemplary service in the community and for being a
role model to all women.
“I AM grateful to Congressman Davis and Dr. Robert Winn [Associate Vice Chancellor, Community Based
Practice}, who epitomize and embody the essence of multi-culturalism and
diversity, and who provide women like me a space to thrive,” Al-Kodmany said.
“As an institution for the public, our ability to come together to build
relationships around our strengths instead of barriers that isolate and
extinguish hope are what make the UI Cancer Center and the University of
Illinois at Chicago a multi-ethnic force to reckon with.”
AL-KODMANY HAS worked at UIC for 28 years and was named administrative
director of the UI Cancer Center in 2016.
