NYU Meyers receives INSIGHT Into Diversity 2023 Health Professions Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award

NYU Meyers received the 2023 Health Professions Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education. As a recipient of the annual Health Professions HEED Award — a national honor recognizing U.S. health colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion — NYU Meyers was featured, along with 61 other recipients, in the November/December 2023 issue of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. This is the third consecutive year NYU Meyers has been named a Health Professions HEED Award recipient. 

“NYU Meyers has long been a leader in inclusion, diversity, belonging, and equity in schools of nursing and higher education broadly,” said Tanisha Johnson-Campbell, vice dean for administration, planning, and inclusion. “Being recognized for our year-round commitment to creating a culture of acceptance is rewarding and inspires us to keep doing more to ensure every voice of our community is heard and respected. NYU Meyers is up for that challenge.”

“The Health Professions HEED Award process consists of a comprehensive and rigorous application that includes questions relating to the recruitment and retention of students and employees — and best practices for both — continued leadership support for diversity, and other aspects of campus diversity and inclusion,” said Lenore Pearlstein, publisher of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. “We take a detailed approach to reviewing each application in deciding who will be named a Health Professions HEED Award recipient. Our standards are high, and we look for schools where diversity and inclusion are woven into the work being done every day across their campus.”
