OSU was named one of 11 Diversity Champions in the nation by Insight Into Diversity magazine. The magazine’s publisher called OSU “a visionary leader” that “develops successful strategies which serve as models of excellence for other higher education institutions.” The honor places OSU in the top tier of the magazine’s 80 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award recipients. It is the sixth consecutive year that OSU has received the HEED Award. The magazine also ranks OSU among the top-100 degree producing universities for the number of African American, American Indian, Asian American, and Latino graduates across multiple degree fields. OSU is tied for the highest number of Native Americans earning bachelor degrees in engineering, and leads the country in engineering technology degrees, according to data from the American Society of Engineering Education. In addition, national surveys continue to show that OSU is the leading land-grant university for Native American student enrollment in the United States.
