Dear UCSF Community,

This afternoon, we hosted the 2023 Chancellor Awards for Diversity celebration. This year’s awardees have all committed their time and effort far beyond job scope or academic role to build bridges, dismantle barriers, and generate spaces of innovation and connection. 

Each has demonstrated extraordinary leadership in their respective fields, our campuses and medical centers, and our greater community to make UCSF more diverse, equitable, and inclusive for all.

We invite you to learn more about them and their efforts by viewing these brief, inspiring videos.
