Insight Into Diversity

Our annual Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award issue celebrates our honorees' institutional best practices that are championing diverse voices, supporting underrepresented faculty, staff, and students, and increasing access for all. Even in the face of so much anti-DEI state legislation across the U.S., we see higher education leadership continuing to support and promote inclusive excellence and belonging across their campuses. This year Insight recognized more winning institutions than ever before! Enjoy the digital issue at insightintodiversity.com today! #HigherEd #Inclusive #News #BestPractices #College #University
