Consultation Support

Later this month, Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) staff member, Shehara Waas will be leaving ARCC and Northwestern University to focus on her health and other career opportunities. Shehara shared how much she appreciated working with ARCC community & Northwestern partners and that it has been so rewarding to get to learn from and with all of them. We will miss Shehara and we celebrate her many contributions to ARCC and to community collaboration and health equity at Northwestern and throughout Chicagoland. She focused on forming mutual partnerships with communities and researchers to amplify community-driven perspectives and leadership and to undo the negative hierarchies of power in research. Because of her work, ARCC is stronger, more engaged, more intentional, and more authentic. ARCC is grateful to learn and grow from Shehara's leadership over the last two and a half years. We thank her for all she will continue to do for our Chicagoland communities! Click here for some ARCC memories of Shehara and share your own wishes and memories.

ARCC will begin the hiring process for a new ARCC staff position soon. Inquiries and interest can be sent to ARCC@northwestern.edu.
