The Hispanic/ Latinx Distinguished Service Awards recognize and celebrate a faculty member and a staff member who enhance cultural awareness and increase knowledge of contributions of the Latinx community to our social, political, cultural, and economic history, as well as contemporary contributions to the FSU community. This award is intended to celebrate pillars of the FSU community who demonstrate a commitment to fostering growth and diversity among the Latinx cultural identity through teaching, research, and/or service. While the award in itself is an honor, it also carries a $1,000 stipend for the recipient.
