WKU will be awarding the President’s ONE WKU Award on March 26 in order to recognize a campus faculty member, staff member and student for their contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion at the Knicely Conference Center.
This award was formerly known as the President’s Award for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in 2023.
According to an email sent to WKU faculty and staff, the award is “intended to encourage dialogue and action through advocacy, role modeling, scholarship and service.”
The only requirement for this nomination is that the individual is involved with the university, enrolled or employed. Students, faculty and staff are all allowed to nominate someone of their choosing according to Amelia Kolb, the assistant director of student activities.
Nominations are due by 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 9 to Monica Burke. Any questions about this process are to be directed to Burke at [email protected].
