Celebration of Excellence

🎉 Celebration of Excellence! 🎉

Since its inception in 2009, the Caltech Center for Inclusion & Diversity (CCID) has been recognizing outstanding members of our community who champion leadership and excellence in advancing inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility. This year, as we celebrate 15 years of CCID's impactful work, we're excited to continue this tradition of honoring those who make a difference.

For nearly 17 years, the Celebration of Excellence event has been a highlight on the Caltech calendar, shining a spotlight on the remarkable efforts of our community members.
