Reminder: Board of Regents Diversity Awards

Already distributed campuswide but repeated for the record here: There’s an Aug. 3 campus deadline for nominations for the 2010 UW System Board of Regents Diversity Awards. The purpose of the award is to recognize institutional change agents who foster access and success for historically under-represented populations. Nominees can be an individual, team, or unit/organization. Up to three awards not to exceed $5,000 each will be made statewide to individuals, programs, and/or initiatives in recognition of their exceptional impact on the university, with funds designated to support the recipients’ professional development or to continue the program being honored. Nominations in the form of a one-page statement should be submitted to UW-Green Bay Associate Provost Sewall via e-mail by Aug. 3. Three nominees — one from each category — will then be selected from each category and asked to complete a more detailed nomination packet. Read more background.
