Named in honor of the first African American graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Nursing, Canary Savage Girardeau, the award is presented to a School of Nursing graduate, current student, faculty, community partner, or staff member for notable work or responsive advocacy that reflects the School’s commitment to health equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Recipients focus on the needs of those whose health status or social condition leaves them vulnerable or places them at risk. They increase participation in health care research, promote sharing of diverse interprofessional perspectives, provide tools to support those working with vulnerable populations, and enhance community engagement or access to resources that promote health and well-being.
