Rieke Leadership Award

Provided by Pacific Lutheran University

Description:
The Rieke Leadership Award was established in 1988 by President Willliam O. Rieke to reaffirm the University's commitment to inclusiveness and diversity. Recipients of the award are men and women of any ethnic background who demonstrate their leadership in promoting racial and ethnic diversity at Pacific Lutheran University and beyond. Pacific Lutheran University recognizes the contributions such leaders make in our society by awarding them gifts of up to $2500 to support their pursuit of higher education. Recipients of the award are expected to participate actively in curricular and co-curricular activities in a multi-ethnic context. Each Rieke Award recipient will work with Pacific Lutheran University's Diversity Center. There is an expected time commitment of three hours per week for the academic year, which is structured around self exploration around issues of social justice and diversity. Through involvement in the Diversity Center, award recipients will enrich the fabric of university life while increasing their own leadership skills.
