SIU System establishes ADEI award
The Southern Illinois University System has established an ADEI Lifetime Achievement Award to recognize staff and faculty members for their efforts in creating, sustaining and expanding antiracism, diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. The recognition is for staff and faculty members whose careers include generally 20 years or more of documented service and advocacy in ADEI initiatives that result in greater justice and belonging for all in the SIU community.
The nomination deadline is March 31. Information on award criteria, eligibility, nomination guidelines and selection criteria is available on the SIU System ADEI webpage.
Recipients will receive an ADEI Lifetime Achievement Award plaque and $1,500. The award will be presented at the April 27 SIU Board of Trustees meeting in Carbondale.
