On October 18, IGHS’ Luis Gutierrez-Mock received UCSF’s Chancellor's Award for LGBTQI Leadership. His dedication to advancing LGBTQI equity through local and statewide COVID-19 response, as well as his dedication to equity and inclusion throughout his career, make him an invaluable leader at UCSF and throughout the communities he serves.
Gutierrez-Mock has supported California’s COVID-19 response since the start of the pandemic through his work at UCSF’s Pandemic Initiative for Equity and Action (UPIEA). While training contact tracers and case investigators through the California Virtual Training Academy (VTA+), a project of UPIEA, Luis led efforts to improve the collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data.
