Since 2007, the Office of Diversity has recognized and honored the achievements and service of members of the campus community who go above and beyond to promote the appreciation and understanding of cultural diversity at Salisbury University.

In recognition of President Janet Dudley-Eshbach’s commitment to enhanced diversity, the award has been renamed the “President’s Diversity Award.”

The President’s Diversity Award Committee announces a call for nominations for the 2012 awards. All members of the campus community are invited to acknowledge colleagues and students who demonstrate tireless commitment to supporting and advancing SU’s institutional diversity goals.

Each award recipient receives a $200 award and a plaque. To celebrate the work of the honorees, a ceremony will be held on a TBD date. At the ceremony, President Dudley-Eshbach will present the awards to the recipients.
