2021 Hibbard Williams
Extraordinary Achievement Award
|
|
|
The 2021 recipient of the Hibbard Williams Extraordinary Achievement Award is our very own Director, Dr. Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola! We are so very proud of him, and all the tireless work that he does in the face of overwhelming odds. The School of Medicine created the Hibbard Williams Award to honor exceptional contributions by faculty, academic staff and administrators that do not clearly fall into the categories of teaching or research. The award is intended to recognize a broad range of accomplishments such as public service or lifetime achievement that brings distinction to the university. It is very easy to see that Dr. Aguilar-Gaxiola embodies the very spirit of this award and we invite you to celebrate this momentous occasion with us!

DEI Launches New Webpage:
Caring for Ourselves and Our Community - Processing and Responding
|
|
|
"The verdict is in from the Chauvin trial. Guilty as charged. We acknowledge that the news may affect people in different ways. Some feel relief, some feel anger that it took “this much trauma” to get a guilty verdict. Others have said that they feel like they are on a roller coaster, and they just need to “take a break for a while.” In whichever way you are processing, please continue to take care of yourselves. We acknowledge the triggers, the pain, the trauma around the Chauvin Trial, the continuing struggles – throughout the pandemic, the continuing hurt in communities, concern for the need to combat historical racism and white supremacist actions against many groups of people, and the mourning for lost lives on a list that is much, much too long."
DEI and other offices across campus hope that the resources shared here will help with processing whatever you may be feeling during this time. We’ve shared some letters and along with some upcoming sessions to let you know that you are not experiencing your feelings in isolation. We are a community.
Visit the page HERE and be sure to watch the video from Vice Chancellor Tull!

Participants must be:
