The University of Georgia’s efforts supporting diversity and inclusion have been recognized by Insight into Diversity Magazine for the 10th consecutive year.
UGA is one of 109 institutions nationwide to receive the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity or HEED Award from the magazine. Criteria considered during the award process includes a review on universities recruitment and retention of students and employees, leadership support for diversity and campus culture and climate. UGA’s programs for students from underrepresented, underserved and rural backgrounds include the Georgia Summer Ready Institute, Road Dawgs, the Georgia African American Male Experience and more.
“The University of Georgia is honored to receive the HEED Award once again,” said President Jere W. Morehead. “Receiving this national recognition each year since 2014 reflects our strong and steadfast commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment across our campus.”
In the past year, UGA has launched several new initiatives designed to enhance its efforts of inclusion.
