11:53 a.m., Feb. 23, 2009----The University of Delaware is committed to promoting diversity and to creating an intellectually, culturally and socially diverse educational community with the understanding that its social and academic environment is enriched by the contributions and full participation of people from various backgrounds.
In recognition of the importance of promoting diversity, the University has established Louis Lorenzo Redding Diversity Award, and nominations for the 2009 award will be received until March 4.
The Louis Lorenzo Redding Diversity Award recognizes the promotion, enhancement and implementation of diversity by University individuals, units, departments or organizations within the University community.
This honor acknowledges especially noteworthy contributions and initiatives that result in significant change to the campus climate and/or composition.
The University of Delaware Commission to Promote Racial and Cultural Diversity will present the award, which honors the attorney Louis Lorenzo Redding, who was an outstanding jurist who fought for civil rights and justice throughout his career.
Redding is also known for his stellar arguments before the Supreme Court as part of his work with the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. He was motivated by his deep belief that African Americans could attain equality through the legal process.
Some of the past award recipients include: James Newton and Juan Villamarin, McNair Scholars Program, University Gallery, the College of Engineering's RISE (Resources to Insure Successful Engineers) Program, the Office of Residence Life, the University Library and the School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy.
The most recent award recipient was Maria Palacas, director of the McNairs Scholars Program.
The award recipient will be announced at a public lecture by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter on Thursday, March 12, at 5:30 p.m. in the Trabant University Center Theatre.
Nominations from individuals or groups will be received until March 4.
Nomination forms and accompanying documentation (no more than two pages) should be sent to Connie Santora, 124 Hullihen Hall, or e-mailed to [csantora@udel.edu].

Current members of the Commission to Promote Racial and Cultural Diversity and employees of the Office of Affirmative Action and Multicultural programs may not be considered for the award. For more information, contact Wunyabari Maloba at 831-8735 or e-mail [maloba@udel.edu].
