UM-Dearborn faculty win distinguished diversity leaders award

Dear Members of the SOE Community,

I had the opportunity this morning to attend the award ceremony in Ann Arbor for the University of Michigan 2009 Distinguished Diversity Leaders.  In my opinion the highlight of this wonderful occasion was the presentation of one of the team awards to the Early Childhood Education faculty for their excellent work in promoting diversity and inclusion in early childhood education.  The teachers at the Early Childhood Education Center initiated the nomination, and the EC faculty team was the only recipient this year from the UM-Dearborn campus.

Please join me in congratulating Mary Trepanier-Street, Seong Hong, and Katie Silverman on their award and in thanking them for their excellent contributions to promoting a diverse and inclusive educational experience for the students, young and old, who are touched by the ECEC.  Mary, Seong, and Katie enrich us all through their work.

Sincerely,

Ed Silver
