Christina Roman (Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics) has received a BSD Diversity Committee (BDC) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award. Christina also received a DEI Legacy Award to recognize sustained efforts by trainees like Tina in the DEI space over several years. Christina is one of the founders of GRIT, (the Graduate Recruitment Initiative Team) and a past president of UChicago SACNAS.
The impact of the awardees' diversity and inclusion work on the University of Chicago, the greater Chicago community, and the larger field of biology is highly significant. Awardees will be honored at a congratulatory ceremony and lunch to be held later this summer.
