Diversity CommitteeThe Diversity Committee oversees the efforts that will increase participation and development of under represented individuals and social categories within the Society. It recommends programs and policies to the council that affect diversity in the Society. 2019 Diversity Travel AwardThe Rural Sociological Society (RSS) and the Committee on Diversity are pleased to announce that travel awards are available to support the attendance and participation of minority participants at the annual conference to be held in Richmond, Virginia. These awards will be awarded on a competitive basis and are meant to assist participants in defraying costs associated with attending the RSS meeting. We anticipate granting awards at the minimum amount of $500 per recipient or at a maximum amount of $750; however, the amount of funds and the number of awards may fluctuate depending on the number of applications and the need described therein.
