Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award
The Pima Community College Diversity and Inclusion Awards acknowledge work in different areas throughout the College and community that brings us closer to creating a more just, equitable and inclusive community. These awards are given annually to individuals, organizations and departments that have demonstrated exemplary leadership, vision or service in promoting equity, diversity and inclusion, beyond their normal scope of work, in the following three categories:
