Introduction

The UC Black Administrators' Council invites faculty and staff from across the UC system to submit nominations for the Harry Le Grande Excellence in Mentorship Award. Established in 2017, the award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated consistent leadership and a dedication to mentoring African American students, staff or faculty at the university. Individuals who are employed by UC or retired from UC are eligible for the award.

We will announce award recipients at the 2025 UCBAC Conference in February.

Harry Le Grande is vice chancellor emeritus for student affairs at UC Berkeley. During his tenure, Harry was a leader in UC student life, admissions and enrollment, financial aid, career services, student conduct, residential living and childcare. Some of his groundbreaking programs were adopted by the university and the state, including the Middle Class Action Plan, which led to the creation of the Middle Class Scholarship, and UC's first financial aid program for students of undocumented status. Harry retired in 2016 after 35 years of exemplary service to the university. He was the inaugural recipient of this award.

Please submit up to two nominations no later than December 6, 2024.
