Edith Sayre Auslander Vision Awards

The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) created the Vision Awards program in 1999 to honor leaders who manage their units in ways that exemplify the vision set out by the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) Commission in 1990. University staff, faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and administrators are encouraged to nominate individuals who cultivate diversity and advance the CSW goals relating to 1) Campus Climate, 2) Career and Professional Development, and 3) Issues of Equity and Inclusion.
