Diversity Champion Awards Program Revamp
At this time, we are not accepting nominations for the Diversity Champion Awards. We are in the process of revamping this important recognition program to better align with our evolving commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our goal is to create an even more impactful way to honor those who are advancing inclusive excellence in our community. We look forward to sharing more details soon and appreciate your understanding and continued support.
"Over the years this annual event has grown in size and prestige, so much so that it has become a signature event for our campus and Hampton Roads community. It is one of our mechanisms that has intentionally been designed to celebrate those who advance the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and promote inclusive excellence."
