SUBJECT:

2011 UC San Diego Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action and Diversity Awards Program Recipients

I am pleased to announce the 2011 UC San Diego Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action and Diversity Awards Program recipients.

The October 2011 announcement of the awards program invited and encouraged nominations to recognize those individuals, departments and organizational units who have made outstanding contributions in support of UC San Diego's commitment to diversity. A review committee composed of representatives from each vice chancellor area evaluated the nominations and recommended them to me for my approval.
