Congratulations to Courtney Harmon, an alum of the WHC! The Division of Student Affairs and Campus Diversity is excited to announce the recipients of the 2021 Diversity Excellence Awards! The Diversity Excellence Awards recognize faculty, staff and alumni / community members who have shown an exemplary commitment to diversity, inclusion and social justice. Nominations were received between December 4 and January 29 and the accomplishments of the nominees were evaluated for th...eir quality and their contribution to diversity and social justice. Many thanks to the Senate Faculty Honors and Awards committee, who reviewed the nominations for the Faculty Award, and to the diversity liaisons of the Equity Council, who reviewed the nominations for the Staff Award. Courtney Harmon (she/her/hers) has been a graphic designer for SDSU Enrollment Services since 2006, and has been active with SDSU’s LGBTQIA+ community since being an undergraduate student. Her advocacy for the community is often behind the scenesbeing a squeaky wheel for updating gender and chosen name markers on forms, including photos of queer students in marketing materials, co-developing gender awareness training guides for campus affiliates, and helping to establish the SDSU Pride Employee Resource Group. Courtney has been the chair of the Pride ERG since fall 2019 and has continued to coordinate ERG events throughout the pandemic, when faculty and staff have needed connection more than ever. She believes that the better SDSU employees are supported, the better we are able to serve our students.
