As such, the award celebrates individuals who champion efforts resulting in greater diversity, inclusion and opportunities for all members of our community.

In determining the Diversity & Inclusion Champion, the Diversity and Inclusion Council’s selection committee will consider creativity, innovation and creation of opportunities and access, including those that:

Applicants/Nominees must be staff, faculty or students who have been at Houston Community College (HCC), in good standing, for at least one year or two semesters. Applicants/Nominees must demonstrate a significant contribution toward furthering a diverse, impartial and inclusive environment at HCC.

Award Criteria

  2. The staff and student awards will be based on service, broadly defined, which may include service to HCC, the local community and beyond.
