UW-L History Professor Víctor M. Macías-González was recognized statewide for his work with underrepresented and underprivileged college students at a UW System Board of Regents Feb. 6 in Madison. He received a 2015 Board of Regents Diversity Award, one of three $5,000 awards given statewide.
Since coming to UW-L in 2000, Macías-González has volunteered to assist students from different backgrounds — including LGBT, first-generation and immigrant college students — and works to increase pathways to college.
This isn’t the first time someone from UW-L has received the UW System diversity honors. Roger Haro, a UW-L biology professor and director of UW-L’s McNair Scholars Program, received the 2014 Regent’s Diversity Award.
Macías-González also received the Wisconsin Professor of the Year Award in November 2013. The award, sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, is part of the U.S. Professor of the Year Program, which salutes the most outstanding undergraduate instructors in the country. UW-L professors have received the Wisconsin Professor of the Year title three of the last four years.
