Nominations for Board of Regents Diversity Award
Dear campus community,
UW System is accepting nominations for the Board of Regents Diversity Award. We are excited to nominate our outstanding Warhawks who are making tremendous strides in the areas of equity, diversity and inclusion.
The purpose of this award is to recognize institutional change agents who have established a successful record in fostering greater access and success for students who are members of historically underrepresented populations (including African Americans, American Indians, Latinos/Hispanics, Asian Americans, and Southeast Asians), first-generation and/or economically disadvantaged.
The award categories include:
Individual – Any individual affiliated with the UW System and its institutions, including but not limited to, faculty, staff, and students.
Team – Any joint endeavor or groups operating collaboratively on a program or initiative within the larger institutional community. Teams are not limited to formal organizational units.
Institution/Unit – A college, academic/support department, or student, faculty, or staff organization recognized as a bona-fide group within an institution.
Please forward your nominations (including a narrative that provides evidence of outcomes and impacts) to Brittany Dickerson at dickersb@uww.edu by 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at YarbrouK@uww.edu or ext. 1910.
In the Warhawk spirit,
Kenny E. Yarbrough
Chief Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Officer
