Call for Nominations

Nominations for the 2022-23 Outstanding Women of Color Awards are due by Sept. 13, 2022. Help us honor the amazing women of color at UW–Madison and in greater Madison community by submitting a nomination today.

The annual Outstanding Women of Color Awards acknowledge and honor women of color among UW–Madison’s faculty, staff, students (undergraduate or post-baccalaureate) and in the greater Madison community who have made outstanding contributions in one or more of the following areas:

• Involvement in social justice, activism and advocacy on behalf of disadvantaged and marginalized populations
• Community service
• Scholarly research, writing, speaking and teaching on race, ethnicity and indigeneity
• Community building to create an inclusive and respectful environment for all

UW–Madison established the award in 2007 following in the footsteps of the UW System, which launched the Outstanding Women of Color in Education Awards in 1994.
