The University of Wisconsin–Madison is seeking nominations for its Outstanding Women of Color Awards which annually honors the amazing women of color in the UW–Madison and greater Madison communities.

Each year, the university recognizes women of color “whose advocacy, activism, or scholarship has positively transformed their organizations and the community, and whose efforts advance equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging for people of color.”

  • Involvement in social justice, activism and advocacy on behalf of disadvantaged and marginalized populations
  • Community service
  • Scholarly research, writing, speaking and teaching on race, ethnicity and indigeneity
  • Community building to create an inclusive and respectful environment for all
