UGA receives national diversity award for eighth consecutive year
A long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusive excellence bolstered by an ambitious new five-year plan has earned the University of Georgia national recognition for the eighth consecutive year.
The INSIGHT Into Diversity Higher Education Excellence in Diversity or HEED Award recognizes colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion. UGA has earned this national honor each year since 2014.
“I deeply appreciate this national recognition, once again, of the University of Georgia’s wide-ranging initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion,” said President Jere W. Morehead. “While there is more work to be done, it is exciting to see the gains we are making in this critical area through meaningful investment of resources and the dedicated efforts of the UGA community.”
Vice Provost of Diversity of Inclusion, Michelle Cook, shares how students at UGA are able to share their diverse voices to make an impact on the community and culture on campus on the UGA Admissions YouTube channel that can be found here.
