The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is proud to host the annual Trailblazer Awards. For more than two decades, the university has honored the achievements of exceptional women who continue to "blaze trails" on campus and in the greater St. Louis region. Now more than ever, this event serves as a reminder to celebrate the women who hold our communities together and bravely pave the way for a brighter future.

The University's theme for 2024 is "Women Who Advocate for All." 

Members of the campus community are invited to nominate women who exemplify one or more of the categories listed:

• Work and passion aligns with the 2024 theme, and/or 
• Have worked to forge new pathways for women, and/or 
• Have contributed significantly to the University and the greater community
