In close partnership between the Vice Provost for Equity, Inclusion and Academic Affairs and the Associate Vice President for Human Resources, the Distinguished Diversity Leaders Award was established to shine a light on those staff members who work toward achieving a welcoming, supportive and inclusive campus environment. 

The members of the Michigan Medicine Disability Council include:

Congratulations to Dr. Meade and other members of this council for their efforts to improve the experience of individuals with disabilities as employees, students, leaders and patients.

To celebrate their commitment to the value of diversity, an award will be presented at an event on December 5th 2017 at 9 am at the Michigan Union.
