Presidential Stronger As One Diversity Awards
The Presidential Stronger as One Diversity Awards honor faculty, staff, students, the Greater Rochester Community, and a member of the Board of Trustees whose actions, activities, and/or accomplishments support our five institutional equity, diversity, and inclusion priorities toward making the University of Rochester a welcoming and inclusive environment. The recipients of the awards model equity, access, and transformative change where all students, staff, and faculty can thrive, change and make the organization and its internal and external communities ever better.
