Each fall, UW–Madison welcomes and celebrates new and recently promoted faculty of color at a reception hosted by the Office of the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion and the Office of the Secretary of the Faculty. This year’s virtual event recognized nearly 85 new faculty and 36 faculty promoted to associate professor or full professor, including 10 faculty members with the School of Education.
