President's Diversity Award includes up to $1,000

Up to four awards of up to $1,000 each are given for projects or practices that best reflect the implementation of system and/or campus diversity goals. Awardees will be recognized at the President's Diversity Award Reception in early May at the President's Office in downtown Denver, and they will be featured in the CU Faculty and Staff Newsletter.
Nominations are welcome from any member of the university community, and are sought in four categories: (1) faculty, (2) staff, (3) student and (4) academic unit or administrative unit. Faculty must be full-time tenured/tenure track or senior instructors/instructors; staff must be full-time professional exempt or classified employees; and students must be full-time undergraduate or graduate students. Unit refers to academic and administrative offices; staff, faculty, and student committees; and organizations (such as alumni) directly associated with CU.

Collaborative members create and publish scholarship in teaching and learning that contributes both to theory and effective teaching practice in and across disciplines. Each faculty researcher designs and undertakes an investigation aimed at deepening understanding of disciplinary pedagogy and related to an issue identified by the researcher in learning.
Faculty researchers design, carry out and publish research on an aspect of learning in a specific course. Each investigator is supported by a coach/mentor and short seminars in how to do education research.
