The School of Dental Medicine (SDM) has 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 award — a national honor recognizing U.S. health colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion — UB will be featured, along with 61 other recipients, in the November/December 2023 issue of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine.
This marks the second HEED award the dental school has received this fall. In September, UB’s Destination Dental School — a program that aims to remove barriers to careers in dentistry for underrepresented students — received the magazine’s 2023 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award.
