The Alumni Council Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Award was established by the Alumni Council task force on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in winter of 2021. The fund was established in response to the Council’s strong desire to support underrepresented students on campus and help foster an inclusive environment that is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Recipients of the award must demonstrate need for funds that will help provide for a robust Franklin College student experience.
