The twelfth cohort of Outstanding Women of Color awardees were honored at a reception on March 5. The honorees have a wide range of achievement and skill, including a Madison City Council member, a computational chemist, an Alzheimer’s research advocate and a university Chief of Staff. There’s also a geneticist and a pediatrician/public health educator, along with a psychology researcher who explores the intersection of gender identity and immigration as a form of discrimination.
