    culturally diverse, competent, and inclusive university community.

    Up to four awards of $1,000 each are given for projects or practices that best
    reflect the implementation of system and/or campus diversity goals. Awardees
    will be recognized at the President's Diversity Award Reception on May 1, 2007,
    2-4 p.m. (Denver location to be announced), and their names published in the
    Silver & Gold.

    ELIGIBILITY
    Nominations are welcome from any member of the university community.
    Nominations are sought in four categories: (1) faculty, (2) staff, (3) student,
    and (4) academic unit or administrative unit. [Faculty must be full-time
    tenured/tenure track or senior instructors/instructors; staff must be full-time

    cultural backgrounds? (c) helped to bridge the gap between the university and
    diverse communities? (d) helped to bring about greater equity in the university
