The President’s Commission for Gender Identity/Expression and Sexual Orientation (GIESO) would like to celebrate and honor excellence within the LGBTQIA2S+ community at WSU.
Beginning Feb. 1, GIESO will be soliciting nominations for exceptional faculty, staff, or administrators who have provided exemplary contributions to the LGBTQIA2S+ community through the advancement of the work of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.
This award demonstrates the institution’s commitment to fostering a welcoming campus culture and climate and shows LGBTQIA2S+ employees that they are a seen, valued, and vibrant part of the WSU community. We invite you to submit a nomination by Feb. 28. Nominations will be reviewed in March, and the recipients will be announced in early April. We will be selecting one nominee for the staff award and one nominee for the faculty award. We will recognize the recipients of these awards during the GIESO Spring Celebration in April 2025.
