College of Science Inclusive Excellence Award

Oregon State University values, engages, and includes the rich diversity of its students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and affiliates. It is critical that all our faculty, staff and students work toward a future that is equitable, just, and inclusive (EJI) for everyone.

This award recognizes the outstanding work of a faculty, staff, or student in advancing inclusive excellence at OSU. Examples include helping to recruit students or employees from underrepresented communities to OSU, generating resources to advance EJI at OSU, promoting and advancing EJI at OSU, improving the climate of a unit within COS, supporting and advancing the cultural resource centers, advancing the role of women in science, or outstanding service as a search advocate. The award recognizes work primarily done at or for OSU, including contributions outside of COS.
