There is still much to be achieved, but initiatives with impact have already been undertaken by students and employees that contribute to an even more diverse and inclusive campus. DI&A recognizes and supports these efforts through the annual DI&A Award and Community Grants. Both the award and grants are given to Mines individuals or group who actively promote inclusive excellence. These efforts contribute to and enhance the campus climate through a sustained commitment to improve opportunities for the diverse communities we serve. 

Community Grants are accepted on a rolling basis starting July 1 each year. For FY24, the program has a total of $3,000 in funds available for Mines community grants.

DI&A Award nominations are due mid-spring of each year.
