[Faculty] Call for Nomination Commitment to Graduate Diversity Award

[Cindy Cardenas]

Dear Graduate Students, Faculty, and Advisors:



The Graduate Division is now accepting nominations for the 2021 Commitment to Graduate Diversity Award.  This award celebrates UCR faculty who actively champion efforts to promote and maintain a diverse and inclusive campus climate, with some focus on our graduate student populations.  The recipient will be recognized at the Commencement Ceremony and receive an award plaque.  All UCR ladder-rank faculty members are eligible for the award.


Letters of nomination are invited from current and former faculty, and from graduate students.  To be considered, a faculty member must receive at least one letter of nomination.  Letters should specifically discuss what makes the nominee an outstanding candidate for the award.  The committee will take into consideration how the nominee's efforts have either enhanced the diversity of our graduate students (through outreach, recruitment, mentoring or other efforts), or helped establish our campus as an inclusive environment of belonging for diverse students.


Nominees of previous years will require re-nomination to be considered by this year's committee; prior letters will be included in their new file.



Please submit nominations letters no later than Monday April 19, 2021 using either this link:  https://form.jotform.com/60695156082964 or by sending the letter to gradawards at ucr.edu<mailto:gradawards at ucr.edu>.
