The Office of Faculty Development, Diversity and Engagement invites faculty, staff, and students to nominate their peers from Monday, February 3 – Friday, March 28, 2025 for the President’s Awards for Excellence Through Diversity.
These awards honor individuals and programs that have made exceptional contributions to enhancing and supporting diversity (broadly defined) within the Stanford University community. The awards are intended to recognize that a diverse campus community enhances our institutional excellence by broadening and strengthening the university’s mission of teaching, learning and scholarship. The awards recognize contributions to diversity in many aspects of university life. (Examples include: development of innovative recruitment programs that attract students, staff, and/or faculty who add to Stanford’s diversity (broadly defined); exceptional mentoring of students whose background, experience, and interests contribute to diversity on campus; development and implementation of effective advancement opportunities for our diverse population of employees; development of curricular and/or research projects on topics focusing on peoples’ identities, origins and cultures within the United States and globally that enrich students’ education in novel ways; and development or enhancement of activities that build community within and among diverse groups of students, staff, and faculty.)
AWARDS: Three awards may be conferred each year: one award to a campus unit (department, program, or office), one award to a faculty or staff member, and one award to a student or student organization. Nominations are valid for one year.
WHO MAY NOMINATE: Any member of the Stanford community (student, staff, or faculty) may nominate an individual or office whose contributions fit the description above.
HOW TO NOMINATE: Submit a letter (not to exceed 3 pages) to the President’s Diversity Awards Committee. Nominations must include the name and position of the nominator and clearly describe the exceptional contributions that make the nominee (individual or campus unit) deserving of this award.
