initiated in 1981 to foster multiculturalism, diversity, and academic excellence at Metropolitan State University of Denver. The professorship brings renowned scholars and artists of distinction to MSU Denver to conduct classes, seminars, performances, and lectures for students, faculty, and the larger Denver community. MSU Denver has hosted numerous luminaries and highlighted each professor’s unique background and experiences to the campus and broader community.
The two main components of the professorship are the Campus and Community events. The community event traditionally occurs at Shorter Community AME Church, where Professor Rachel Noel worshiped, and her stained glass portrait is displayed. In addition to the Keynote address, the community event program includes the Hope for the Future Awards and the awarding of Rachel B. Noel scholarships.
Hope for the Future Award nominations are open online until January 28.
