Subject: 2018 President's Distinguished Diversity Award Nominations
Good morning,
The President's Distinguished Diversity Awards are annual awards that bestow the
highest level of recognition to individuals or groups for work that helps the UTSA
community think about and practice diversity and inclusion in creative and collaborative
ways.
The nomination period is now open for the 2018 UTSA President's Distinguished
Diversity Awards. Faculty, staff and students (individuals and groups) are eligible to be
nominated for this award. President's Distinguished Diversity Award recipients will be
recognized at the University Excellence Awards Ceremony on April 19, 2018.
Two faculty/staff awards of up to $1,000 will be given; one to an individual and one to a
group.
Two student awards of up to $500 will be given; one to an individual and one to a group.
These awards especially seek to recognize efforts to engage the UTSA community in
cross-cultural activities to demonstrably extend their knowledge of communities different
from their own and/or to enhance their multicultural competence for working with diverse
communities at UTSA, San Antonio, Texas, and beyond. In this sense, we envision the awards
to not simply reflect and encourage service to our diverse community, although doing so is
sufficient for nomination. Ideally, the awards will also advance UTSA's academic
mission to produce multiculturally experienced community members who then become the
country's multiculturally skilled and inclusive professionals and leaders.
For this particular award, the department or college does not vet nominations. As such, we
are simply asking for your support in sharing this information with the faculty in your
colleges.
Complete nomination packets must be submitted electronically to
diversityawards@utsa.edu<mailto:diversityawards@utsa.edu> by Friday, January 30,
2018.
Requests for additional information should be directed to the Office of Academic and
Faculty Support at 458-2700 or
diversityawards@utsa.edu<mailto:diversityawards@utsa.edu>.
Thank you for sharing this information widely amongst your faculty.
