These are the definitions that the awards committee will use! 

Includes all visible and non-visible dimensions that make a person who are, 

  • Encompassing all human characteristics, ideas, perceptions, values, beliefs, experiences, preferences, behaviors, learning and communication styles, and backgrounds. 
  • Diversity requires that institutions create a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment that honors and respects those differences. 

The removal of systemic barriers, and the provision of and access to opportunities, networks, resources, and support in an impartial environment free from bias or favoritism, applied equally across all people. 

Inclusion is an active, intentional, and continuous process to address inequities in power and privilege and build a respectful and diverse community that ensures welcoming spaces and opportunities to flourish for all. 

Making sure that physical and psychological obstacles do not prevent individual achievement or participation.
