The University of Michigan Women of Color in the Academy Project (WOCAP) will present its 12th Annual Shirley Verrett Award on February 13, 2024 at the University of Michigan Museum of Art on 525 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 honoring Lester Monts and Clare Croft.

Please join us for an evening of celebration beginning at 5:30 P.M with a reception to follow.

The Shirley Verrett Award was created in 2011 by the Office of the Senior Vice Provost in honor of the late Shirley Verrett, a U-M professor who “would have walked the world over for her students,” organizers say. It is administered by WOCAP and is supported by SMTD, UMMA, and ODEI.
