The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion requests nominations for the second cohort of Inclusive Wall of Honor awardees.<\/p>\n
The Inclusive Wall of Honor pays tribute to and highlights 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to continue our mission of increasing diverse representation while fostering a community in which everyone has a sense of belonging,\u201d said Malaika Bell, interim executive director of diversity, equity and inclusion at UToledo. \u201cThe ability to see representations of our identities on campus walls increases this possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
