Details

The Diversity and Inclusion Impact Awards are open to all University employees and seek to recognize nominees who demonstrate a sustained commitment to justice for communities historically marginalized for their race and ethnicity. Nominees should have contributed to the promotion of an inclusive and diverse campus climate through their ongoing work in:

  • Advocacy for and mentorship of others
  • Commitment to effecting structural change
  • Development of innovative programs and initiatives
  • Substantial contributions to USD's diversity and inclusion goals

The Diversity and Inclusion Impact Awards were founded in 2021 to honor BIPOC (Black and Indigenous People of Color) experiences on campus, and in specific response to the Black Faculty Letter of 2020, which noted the under-recognized labor on campus for the mentorship of BIPOC community members and their contributions to cultural change. Members of the Diversity and Inclusion Impact Awards Committee will review the nominations and select two awardees (one faculty and one staff), for monetary awards from each of USD's units: the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Leadership and Education Sciences, Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science, Knauss School of Business, Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, School of Law, Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering, Division of Professional and Continuing Education, and Copley Library.

Nominees must be faculty, staff, and administrators. Prior awardees are not eligible. Nominations can be held over for one year. The recipients of the awards will be announced during the Diversity and Inclusion Impact Awards Luncheon and Program on February 25, 2025.

This event is open to all campus community members and pre-registration is required.
