Contemplatives in Action Award
This award is to uplift the importance of an inclusive + well-defined strategy to drive shared DEI responsibility and results. The Contemplatives in Action Award recognizes a team who can outline an inclusive strategic planning process, demonstrate the incorporation of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the plan, highlight recent achievements and/or impact, and speak to a process for continuous improvement.
Co-Conspirator Award
This award is to celebrate the spirit of DEI collaboration. The Co-Conspirator Award recognizes two teams from different schools and/or units who develop a partnership to successfully execute a DEI project, program, or initiative for greater reach and impact.
Either team can enter and note the partnering team in their entry.
Catalyst Award
This award is about creating lasting changes and shifts in culture through innovative and sustainable DEI efforts. The Catalyst Award recognizes a team who has developed a program or made a change in policy, procedure or practices that reduces barriers and/or increases a sense of belonging for faculty, staff, or students at Loyola University Chicago.
Community Award
Honors those teams who have taken the work of equity and justice beyond Loyola’s walls and into the broader community. This award highlights those who are actively engaging with and uplifting external communities by building relationships, advocating for change, and creating real, positive impact through READI-focused work.
