The University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Division of Diversity, Equity & Educational Achievement (DDEEA) will celebrate new and promoted faculty of color at UW–Madison and their accomplishments at the annual Faculty of Color Reception on Oct. 9, 5-7 p.m., in the Alumni Lounge of the Pyle Center.

All UW–Madison faculty can register to attend and bring a guest for the 21st annual Faculty of Color Reception, and DDEEA encourages all new and recently promoted faculty of color to invite a mentor or valued colleague to join.

Some of DDEEA’s goals are, according to its website, to increase access for underrepresented minorities in STEM; eliminate the achievement gap between majority and underrepresented students; and recruit and retain a more diverse faculty and staff.

The Pyle Center is located at 702 Langdon St. For more information about the Faculty of Color Reception, click here.
