UCSF Names MLK Awardees, Hosts Series of Events
Three members of the campus community have been named winners of the 2008 Martin Luther King Jr. Awards.
Each year, UCSF recognizes three individuals who are manifesting King’s vision of a noble civilization of diversity by honoring them with the UCSF MLK award. Awards are given to one faculty/academic member, one staff member and one student/resident/postdoctoral scholar who have furthered the goal of achieving ethnic diversity within the UCSF community.
The recipients of the 2008 MLK awards are:
• Faculty: Eliseo J. Perez-Stable, MD, Department of Medicine, UCSF School of Medicine,
• Staff: Judy Martin-Holland, PhD, MPA, RN, CS, FNP, Academic Services/Diversity Enhancement, UCSF School of Nursing and
• Student: Brandon Davis, PhD, Division of Child Neurology, UCSF School of Medicine.
Chancellor Mike Bishop, MD, invites the campus community to attend the MLK awards ceremony from noon to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 22, in Cole Hall on the UCSF Parnassus campus. Light refreshments will be served. The awards ceremony is part of UCSF’s celebration of the life and legacy of the slain civil rights leader. See flyer link below for other events.
Judy Martin Holland
Since 2003, Martin-Holland has served as assistant dean of Academic Services and Diversity for the School of Nursing. To drive forward UCSF’s goal of creating a more diverse pool of applicants, she has led and revamped numerous programs. These include fostering partnerships with Howard University and John F. Kennedy University, and organizing the Inside UCSF program for doctoral students and the Summer Academic Enrichment Program for future master’s students.
One of Holland-Martin’s most successful programs is the Master’s Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN), which directly aids in increasing the number of underrepresented groups in the nursing profession. |

Martin-Holland’s nursing career also includes nursing research. She completed her PhD degree in nursing at UCSF with a research emphasis on health care disparities and asthma.
“Judy lives by the motto ‘Live so that when children think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you,’” said Dorrie Fontaine, RN PhD, associate dean for academic programs in the School of Nursing.
All programs and events are planned by the 2008 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Commit¬tee, funded through the Chancellor’s Cultural Enrichment Fund, and supported by Arts and Events, Associated Students of UCSF, Center for Gender Equity, Council of Minority Organizations, Office of Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity and Diversity, Staff Council, and the Student Activity Center.
