NSUCO Gets Insight into Diversity 2023 HEED in Diversity Award

Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry (NSUCO) is pleased to announce that they have 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. This is the second consecutive year NSUCO has been named as a Health Professions HEED Award recipient.

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 — NSUCO will be featured, along with 61 other recipients, in the November/December 2023 issue of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine.

INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine selected NSUCO because of the several Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives the school provides to promote an inclusive atmosphere amongst the NSU campuses and our community.

According to Insight into Diversity magazine, 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.

“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.”
