Recognizing Outstanding RIT Students and Faculty | February 2021
Do you know an RIT faculty member who works to promote diversity and inclusion?
Nominations are now open for the 2021 Isaac L. Jordan Sr. Faculty Pluralism Award.
It is a university- wide program established to honor the legacy of Jordan, who made a major impact on the lives of students and his colleagues at RIT. Jordan was the first chairperson of RIT’s Commission for Promoting Pluralism and held that position from 1990 until his death in 1994. He helped promote a sense of community, and worked toward economic and social equality.
While only faculty are eligible for this honor, anyone (students, staff, faculty, community members) can submit a nomination. Self-nominations are also accepted. Submit your nomination by February 10, 2021 here.
RIT is also honoring students who lead and serve.
Applications are now open to nominate an RIT student for the Community Impact Awards. The process is coordinated through the Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement. Scholarship amounts vary by award but “typically” range between $500 and $2,500. The deadline to apply is March 5, 2021, apply here.
