Roca’s Intervention Model
Kurtis Palermo, Andrea Harrison, and Tyrone Kent

Roca is a 35 year-old, internationally recognized community violence intervention (CVI) agency operating in Baltimore since 2018. We move the needle on urban violence by relentlessly engaging the young people most likely to shoot or be shot and teach them behavioral health skills that save lives. Roca’s four-year Intervention Model features relentless outreach to young people; building transformational relationships; a portable and relatable version of cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) to address trauma; and opportunities to practice skills through trauma-informed employment, education, and life skills programming.

The Role of Higher Education in Combating Poverty
Mike Lovell, PhD, Mark A. Mone, PhD, and Jennifer Harris

Higher education has played an important role in the economic empowerment of individuals and communities. In this panel, Marquette University President Mike Lovell and UW-Milwaukee Chancellor Mark Mone discuss the role of higher education in combating poverty. In addition to the research and community partnerships that both institutions have fostered, UWM and Marquette are instrumental in providing access to higher education degrees for students from underrepresented groups.
