The Office of Diversity, Equity and Protected Disclosure is launching its first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Awards to recognize individuals or groups that exemplify commitment to inclusion.
The Diversity Awards view outstanding achievement as: a practice, event, applied research, policy, program or other activity that fosters sustainable and measurable change for any group traditionally under-represented on campus. It can be ongoing work, or a single initiative.
Examples include:
- A faculty strategic plan that recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion
- An ongoing event that helps students from an under-represented group feel welcome and included
- A tool or practice that increases accessibility for people with disabilities
- Adapting or changing procedures, policies or practices to make them fair or more inclusive
- Exemplifying leadership in fostering an inclusive campus
Nominations will be accepted from November 15 until December 31, 2018. For more information, visit the awards website.
