Drs. Carter,  Cornwell, Rialon, and Trautner have been recognized for their demonstrated leadership in addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion above and beyond the general responsibility as staff, faculty, trainee, and students. They have documented extraordinary contributions and accomplishments, within one or more of Baylor’s mission areas. The recipients will be honored at the 2021 Women of Excellence Award virtual event featuring a keynote address titled “Dr. Margaret ‘Peg’ Nosek: A Life of Passion and Purpose,” to honor the contributions the late Dr. Nosek, professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Baylor, made to the study of women and disabilities through research, advocacy and collaboration.
