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 HEED Award鈥攁 national honor recognizing U.S. colleges and universities that
demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion鈥敽诹洗兔� will be featured,
along with 91 other recipients, in the November 2015 issue of INSIGHT Into Diversity
magazine. This is the first time 黑料传送门 has been named as a HEED Award recipient鈥攁n
honor that has never been bestowed upon an osteopathic medical school.
鈥淒iversity is a core value at 黑料传送门,鈥� said Jay S. Feldstein, DO, president and CEO. 鈥淎s a post-graduate institution that trains osteopathic physicians and health care professionals, our students need to reflect the patients and the families they will care for and serve. Our goal is to integrate diversity into the fabric of our soul. It starts with our Board of Trustees, our leadership team, our faculty, our employees and our student population.鈥�
鈥淎s an institution, we work from the paradigm that academic excellence and diversity are inextricably linked,鈥� said Lisa McBride, PhD, chief diversity officer. 鈥淭his recognition by INSIGHT Into Diversity is a manifestation of the commitment 黑料传送门 has to creating a learning and working environment that is nurturing and beneficial to all members of our campus community.鈥�
INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine selected 黑料传送门 for its commitment to diversity and inclusion in every aspect of the College, from its recruitment efforts, to its academic offerings, to the physical space on its Philadelphia and Georgia campuses. Much of this activity has stemmed from the formation of the President鈥檚 Diversity Council, a group of individuals from both campuses who make recommendations to Dr. Feldstein on matters of equity and diversity, and provide strategic execution of the College鈥檚 Diversity Plan.
鈥淭he HEED Award process consists of a comprehensive and rigorous application that includes questions relating to the recruitment and retention of students and employees鈥攁nd best practices for both鈥攃ontinued leadership support for diversity, and other aspects of campus diversity and inclusion. We take a holistic approach to reviewing each application in deciding who will be named a HEED Award recipient. Our standards are high, and we look for institutions where diversity and inclusion are woven into the work being accomplished every day across a campus,鈥� said Lenore Pearlstein, publisher of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine.
