School wins Boulder campus The Chancellor’s Advisory Committee for Minority Affairs honored the School as the 2004 recipient of the Boulder campus Diversity Service Award for “continuing efforts to create a diverse, supportive, learning, working and living environment and a commitment to promoting an appreciation and understanding of issues related to people of color and the multicultural world in which we live.” “The award is an honor for the School and is a tribute to the unflagging efforts of Dave Martinez, Steve Jones and the faculty and staff who make diversity a priority, both in the School and in our work across the campus,” Dean Paul Voakes said.
