Honoring the University’s Commitment to Diversity and
Inclusion
By Kait Tippey
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion announced the
Inclusive Wall of Honor to be installed on the third floor
of University Hall.
The Inclusive Wall of Honor will honor and highlight the
contributions underrepresented minorities, individuals with
disabilities and members of the LGBTQA+ community have made
as faculty, staff, administrators and alumni of The
University of Toledo.
“I hope it will instill a sense of pride for current
students and hopefully inspire them to become their best
selves, whatever that means to each student,” said Willie
McKether, PhD, vice president of diversity and inclusion and
vice provost at UToledo.
Prior to the Inclusive Wall of Honor’s installation, ODI is
calling for nominations of the incoming class of inductees
for 2020. The nomination form is available on the Office
of Diversity and Inclusion website.
Criteria for nomination:
• Nominees must be an Underrepresented Minority (URM), a
person with a disability or a member of the LGBTQA+
community.
• Any faculty, staff or administrator who made significant
contributions while employed at the University and has
demonstrated good citizenship since leaving the University
is eligible to be nominated. These nominees must have been
separated from the university for at least two years in
order to be eligible for nomination. This includes
individuals who left the University on favorable terms
through resignation, retirement or are deceased.
• Alumni who have been graduated from UToledo for at least
five years, have made significant contributions to the
community and have demonstrated good citizenship are
eligible for nomination. Nominated alumni may be living or
