UW-Madison Vice Provost and Chief Diversity Officer Patrick J. Sims and professor Ruth Litovksy will host this year’s Annual Faculty of Color Reception at the Pyle Center Alumni Lounge Feb. 25.
The night will commend the 16 faculty of color who received promotions this year and 18 newly hired faculty of color. Litovsky encouraged the honorees to bring guests to the event in a Thursday university release.
To kickstart the evening, Chancellor Rebecca Blank and Provost Sarah Mangelsdorf will give a brief welcome to the honorees.
“Celebrating the diversity of our faculty is critical and this event is just one of the ways that we partner with deans across campus to acknowledge our vibrant and increasingly diverse community of campus,” Sims said in the release.
The community is invited to attend this event free of charge, according to the release.
