UW System Outstanding
Women of Color In Education Awards

UW-La Crosse Honorees

University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Consortium, the Office of Academic Diversity and Development, and the Office of Women’s Issues are pleased to have had this opportunity to recognize seventeen women from around the state for their extensive contributions to their campuses and/or communities. The Women of Color Award Ceremony was initiated in 1994 to acknowledge the ties and shared concerns among administrators, faculty, staff, and students within women’s studies and ethnic studies, and to uphold a continuing commitment to Plan 2008: Educational Quality through Racial and Ethnic Diversity. Each UW System campus was invited to select one woman to receive this recognition.
