Dr. Burns Wins Prestigious Peter E. Haas Public Service AwardWe are pleased to announce that Dr. Burns is the 2007 recipient of the prestigious Peter E. Haas Public Service Award. Dr. Burns was presented with the award on Saturday, April 12, 2008 at a beautiful ceremony and luncheon at UC Berkeley and gave an inspiring talk entitled, “Hope in the Hood.” The Peter E. Haas Public Service Award was established by Mrs. Peter E. Haas on the occasion of her husband’s 80th birthday. Its purpose is to honor an alumnus of the University of California, Berkeley who, through his or her personal efforts, has made a significant voluntary public contribution within the boundaries of the United States. The focus is on four major areas: community service, health care, environmental work, and education. The award seeks to recognize activity at the grassroots level and illustrate the impact that an individual can have on society through creative social change. UC Berkeley also commissioned a video of Dr. Burns, also entitled “Hope in the 'Hood.” For more information about the Hass Award and Dr. Burns, please visit: http://www.urel.berkeley.edu/haasawards/public-service-award/ You may also view the video on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ2w1JxIEok
