Assistant Professor Ceema Samimi Featured in Cura Stories

Assistant Professor Ceema Samimi was featured in the latest issue of CURA Stories, published by the Center for Urban & Regional Affairs. This monthly publication featured monthly stories that celebrate the work of community and government partners.  In late March, they featured Dr. Ceema Samimi in "Research Rooted in Relationship: Reflections from Dr. Ceema Samimi on the Value of Community-connected Research."  

Here's a quote from the story: “Working with Dr. Samimi and doctoral candidate Laura Soltani on the benefits cliff pilot phase one program evaluation was a wonderful experience for Hennepin County. Dr. Samimi genuinely cared about the program, evaluation process, and everyone involved. As the Benefits Cliff Program Manager, the process and outcome brought great insight and recommendations that are helping to inform the pilot's second phase. We appreciate Dr. Samimi’s leadership and partnership throughout the evaluation.”  - Jen Albrecht, Hennepin County Office of Workforce Development Manager.
