The Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion would like to invite the SIUE community to nominate a faculty or staff member for the SIUE Champion for Diversity Award.

This award is presented to a faculty or staff member who has demonstrated an exemplary level of dedication to SIUE’s mission of fostering equal opportunity, positive interactions with students, staff and faculty, and someone who respects and values differing backgrounds and points of view within SIUE.

The Champion for Diversity Award will be recognized annually during the December Commencement and will consist of a plaque and $500 donated to a University diversity and inclusion project of the recipient’s choice.
