The School for Global Inclusion and Social Development at UMass Boston is pleased to present the second annual Beacon for Global Inclusion Awards. These awards honor individuals and organizations who empower individuals to achieve inclusion in their communities. Increased inclusion can happen through poverty alleviation, greater access to education, and shifting power to a broader base across a population. Our honorees work across disciplines and fields to create lasting change from the ground up. Nominees are selected from two categories: a local (greater Boston) awardee, and an organization at the national/international level. Please join us to celebrate this year's extraordinary honorees.
