The President and the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are seeking nominations for the 2018 President’s Diversity Champion Award, an annual honor recognizing significant achievements of faculty, staff, students and student organizations toward developing a more culturally diverse and inclusive university community.

Awards will be given in each of five categories (faculty, staff, undergraduate, graduate/professional student, and student organization) for projects or activities that best reflect the implementation of unit and/or campus diversity goals. Nominees in each area must address the significance, implementation and impact of the nominee’s action or project.

Any member of the UAB community can nominate a faculty member, staff member, student, or a student organization for the awards. A nomination packet should include: a completed nomination form, nomination letter, letters of support (up to three) and supporting evidence of the nominee’s work.

The deadline for nominations is 5:00pm on Friday, December 1, 2017
