The Chancellor Awards for Diversity recognize those who have demonstrated outstanding commitment and service to diversity, equity and inclusion, and extraordinary leadership in their respective fields and to the communities in which they serve. The 2021 awards also highlight those whose contributions are aligned with our Anti-racism Initiative.

The Office of Diversity and Outreach is proud to introduce the 2021 award recipients. Please join us for a virtual celebration on Thursday, October 28, 2021 from 12:00-1:30pm.
