For a 10th consecutive year, INSIGHT Into Diversity — the oldest and largest diversity publication in higher education — recognized Fresno State with its Higher Education in Diversity (HEED) award. Established in 2011, the award goes to U.S. universities that significantly advance the core values of diversity, equity and inclusion.

INSIGHT Into Diversity announced the 2023 recipients on Oct. 11. Fresno State joins 108 other national recipients.

"Earning this distinction for 10 years in a row is a testament to the work that has been done here," said Dr. Rashanda Booker, university diversity officer. "This work that has been happening is not a direct correlation to the hiring of the inaugural university diversity officer. This goes to show that there have been people doing this work long before this position. We’ve found the secret sauce, and we’ve perfected it. Now it’s time for us to build upon diversity."
