DEI recognition

The DEI office recognizes three categories of long-term contribution to inclusion and equity by members of our community.

These include students and postdocs who have made outstanding individual contributions, leadership exemplified by organized groups, and the collective efforts of other individuals through a variety of initiatives across campus. 

We thank you all for your long-term dedication and leadership!
