The Office of Diversity and Inclusion announced the Inclusive Wall of Honor to be installed on the third floor of University Hall.
The Inclusive Wall of Honor will honor and highlight the contributions underrepresented minorities, individuals with disabilities and members of the LGBTQA+ community have made as faculty, staff, administrators and alumni of The University of Toledo.
“I hope it will instill a sense of pride for current students and hopefully inspire them to become their best selves, whatever that means to each student,” said Dr. Willie McKether, vice president of diversity and inclusion and vice provost at UToledo.
Prior to the Inclusive Wall of Honor’s installation, ODI is calling for nominations of the incoming class of inductees for 2020. The nomination form is available on the Office of Diversity and Inclusion website.
