Diversity Award Description:
This award is given to department(s) or individual(s) in recognition of proactive efforts to increase cultural, ethnic, and gender diversity within the ECE student body and among ECE faculty, that go well beyond and above the normal institutional recruiting practices. The selection is based primarily on a qualitative evaluation of the diversity initiative as described on the nomination form to recognize and encourage effective outstanding initiatives that lead to greater diversity within ECE programs. The institution associated with the individual or department recognized by this award need not be a member of ECEDHA at the time of the award, nor is it necessary for an individual to have been a department head.
