Dear UCSF Community,

Every year UCSF recognizes and celebrates the efforts of members of our institution who demonstrate commitment and service to diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism. Moreover, these individuals show extraordinary leadership in their respective fields and in the communities they serve. I am pleased to share with you the 2022 Chancellor Awards for Diversity recipients.

Chancellor Sam Hawgood recognized the recipients listed below at a reception on Tuesday last week. Each one of them has gone far above and beyond their day-to-day responsibilities to make UCSF a place that genuinely welcomes, educates, and cares for all.

Please join me in congratulating these faculty, staff, students, and trainees. I invite you to learn about them and their remarkable efforts by watching these short videos.
