The President’s Commission on Diversity is accepting applications for diversity related development and research grants, as well as nominations for the President’s Diversity Award.
Recipients of the grant may receive stipends of up to $500 to attend professional conferences related to issues of diversity in higher education or to conduct research in this area. Grants will be awarded in two categories: students, and faculty and staff.
Applications for the grant are due Sunday, Nov. 15, 2009, and Monday, Feb. 15, 2010, and will only be accepted by students, faculty and staff from Minnesota State University, Mankato.
The Diversity Award acknowledges contributions of the university’s faculty, staff and administrators whose services and efforts support the school’s goal of diversity and inclusiveness.
Award nominations are due Monday, Nov. 9, and recipients will be recognized at the annual Institutional Diversity Dinner Friday, Nov. 20.
The President’s Commission on Diversity will review all nominations with the final decision made by the president.
Current members of the President’s Commission on Diversity are not eligible to apply.
Please submit nomination letters and applications to the Office of Disability Services in Room 132 of Memorial Library. Electronic copies can be e-mailed to Julie Snow.
