The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is proud to host the annual Trailblazer Award.

In recognition of Women’s History Month, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion proudly host the annual Women Trailblazers Ceremony honoring UMSL women—who continue to “blaze trails” at UMSL and in the greater community that we serve. The Trailblazer Award is presented to women who have worked to forge new pathways for women and/or women who have contributed significantly to the University and/or the greater St. Louis community.
