The 2013 Harold R. Johnson Diversity Service Award went out to seven University of Michigan faculty members, one being SNRE's own Paul Mohai. The award, which comes from the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, honors faculty who have shown dedication to developing cultural and ethnic diversity at U-M.

Mohai, was cited for being a leader in the environmental justice field of study over a 21-year career. The Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council, and other organizations working to achieve environmental justice, cite the importance of Mohai's work.

Established in 1996, the award is given in honor of Harold Johnson, dean emeritus of the School of Social Work. The award provides $5,000 to recipients to further research and scholarship opportunities.
