Diversity Vanguard Award

To recognize those who have impacted positive change within our campus community and the region, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion presents the Diversity Vanguard Award to a university individual and a community partner. This award was created to celebrate individuals, departments and external organizations advancing initiatives which support diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion at Indiana Tech. The award recipients must have proven themselves as a changemaker in the area of inclusion and community support, as well as demonstrated a sensitivity to the unique needs and interests of marginalized populations.
