MAS Institutional Leadership Diversity Award

The Group on Student Affairs-Minority Affairs Section (MAS) Institutional Leadership Diversity Award will be presented to an individual who has made extraordinary contributions toward enhancing total diversity at his or her institution. The concept of "total diversity" goes beyond the numbers to embrace the integration of diversity into the institution's culture-from students and faculty to curriculum and leadership. This individual will have demonstrated a sustained record of commitment to diversity, and the evidence of their commitment will be clearly discernable. The award will also highlight the continuing importance of diversity in the education of our nation's health care workforce. It was first presented at the 2006 MAS Program during the AAMC Annual Meeting.
