The deadline is nearing for the UNITAS Diversity Leadership Prize given each year to a senior who demonstrates an active dedication to activities on campus that support multicultural enrichment and fellowship.
The individual must also reflect a commitment to working toward social justice, improving racial harmony and creating a greater understanding of difference in the classroom and community.
Eligible students must be nominated by current faculty, staff or student. Nominations and supporting documents are due March 16.
In addition, this year Union will present the first-ever UNITAS Community-Building Prize to a student, staff or faculty member who best demonstrates leadership in bringing together different segments of the campus community through regularly scheduled events or activities or through founding or leading an organization dedicated to community service, charitable fundraising or celebration of College history. The deadline is also March 16.
Please email your nomination of one or both prizes, with reasons for support, to UNITAS, c/o Prof. David Gerhan, reference and instruction librarian, at gerhand@union.edu.
