Nominations are being sought for two awards honoring faculty efforts to promote diversity service and scholarship at the University of Michigan — James S. Jackson Distinguished Career Award for Diversity Scholarship and the Harold R. Johnson Diversity Service Award.
The James S. Jackson Distinguished Career Award for Diversity Scholarship is a biennial award that recognizes the important scholarly contributions made by a senior faculty member to understanding diversity and addressing disparities in contemporary society.
Nomination information
It is named for Jackson, a leading researcher into the life and health of African Americans. Recipients receive an honorarium of $10,000 and deliver a public distinguished lecture or performance. Nominations from U-M faculty, staff or students will be accepted until March 31.
The Harold R. Johnson Diversity Service Award is named in honor of a dean emeritus of the School of Social Work, and is awarded to those whose service goes above and beyond their regular duties and contributes to the development of a culturally and ethnically diverse campus community.
