Michael Alfaro, Awarded the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award

Michael Alfaro, a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, is this year’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award recipient. In the Spring of 2014, Professor Alfaro was one of the campus leaders who was tasked with developing a proposal to establish a diversity course requirement for undergraduate students in the College of Letters and Science. The proposal articulated the goals of the diversity requirement at UCLA as well as set criteria for courses satisfying the requirement, including numerous community-based courses. His leadership in this area contributed to the successful passage of the diversity requirement.

Congratulations to Michael Alfaro for the award!
