Recognition

The diverse and unique perspectives of the students, faculty and staff have contributed to making UMass Chan a leading academic health services center. Many individuals work tirelessly to advance our goals of increasing diversity and driving our culture of inclusion and civility. The Chancellor’s Award for Advancing Institutional Excellence in Diversity recognizes an individual that exemplifies the UMass Chan Diversity Statement (ADD HERE). This includes working towards building an inclusive culture characterized by civility and respect, increasing numbers of underrepresented groups in student, faculty and staff positions, improving the cultural competence of the workforce through diversity education and programming and advancing health equity by making a significant impact on reducing disparities through research, service and practice. Each year, the Chancellor recognizes an individual that best exemplifies these values and presents these awards at our annual Martin Luther King Day Celebration.
