“We hope the HEED award serves as a way to honor those institutions of higher education that recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion as part of their everyday campus culture,” said Lenore Pearlstein, co-publisher of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, along with Holly Mendelson.
HEED Award recipients were selected based on their institution’s exemplary diversity and inclusion initiatives, and ability to embrace a broad definition of diversity on their campuses, including gender, race, ethnicity, veterans, people with disabilities, and members of the LGBT community.
A call for applications for the HEED Award was announced in March 2013. Award recipients include community colleges, public and private colleges and universities—both large and small, graduate and professional institutions, and one school system.
