Each year, Pitt’s Office of the Provost hosts the Larry E. Davis Black Excellence in the Academy Award Dinner to honor Black faculty members’ outstanding achievements, contributions, and leadership. Named after the late trailblazer Larry E. Davis, who served as dean of Pitt’s School of Social Work from 2001-2018 and founding director of the Center on Race and Social Problems, the initiative is part of the office’s commitment to bolstering faculty diversity and development.
