Insight Into Academia (formerly Insight Into Diversity) magazine is the leader in advancing best practices in higher education excellence and belonging. Through thought-provoking print and online articles, we share expert advice, valuable resources, in-depth profiles of top programs at colleges and universities, headline news, and much more to help keep our readers informed and empower them to advance inclusive initiatives at their institutions.
Insight Into Academia is proud to recognize institutions that demonstrate excellence in fostering campus environments where students, faculty, and staff thrive. Through our prestigious awards, we celebrate colleges, universities, and professional schools that implement forward-thinking strategies to enhance academic success, belonging and institutional leadership. These awards honor institutions that prioritize student achievement, cultivate supportive communities, and drive meaningful progress across campus life. Our recognition programs, including category-specific honors in health professions, business, STEM, and library innovation, spotlight the impactful initiatives shaping the future of higher education.
Beyond the Quadcast is where thought leaders, educators, and institutional innovators come together to discuss the evolving landscape of higher education. Each episode features in-depth conversations with experts who share practical strategies, emerging trends, and real-world solutions to the challenges facing today’s campuses. From faculty development and student engagement to leadership insights and institutional strategy, our podcast provides a dynamic space for higher ed professionals to learn and grow.
Building on these rich discussions, Insight Into Academia also offers exclusive toolkits designed to translate podcast insights into actionable resources. These toolkits provide step-by-step guides, key takeaways, and implementation strategies drawn directly from our expert conversations, making it easier than ever for institutions to put great ideas into practice. Whether you’re looking to refine recruitment strategies, enhance student support services, or strengthen academic policies, our toolkits equip you with the tools you need to drive meaningful change.
Insight Into Academia is the oldest and most robust magazine and website focused on inclusive excellence and belonging in higher education today — including a longtime focus on faculty and staff recruitment. Continuing our 50-year tradition, we connect highly qualified employees with colleges and universities that choose to embrace a workforce reflective of their student population and surrounding communities through our Career Center. Our advertisers benefit from an extensive pool of job candidates, one that is strengthened by our strategic partnerships with organizations representing a wide range of talented individuals from a myriad of backgrounds.
Building on the valuable knowledge Insight Into Academia has gained through its national award programs and the magazine’s ongoing conversation about inclusive excellence and belonging in higher education, we established a sister company, Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys, LLC. These surveys evolved as additional, impactful tools for colleges and universities that seek to better understand and improve upon their campus culture.
Our climate surveys are designed to help schools identify and assess their inclusion efforts. Institutions gain insight into what shapes the experiences and perceptions of diverse individuals on campus — including students, faculty, staff, and administrators — and where success can be celebrated and change needs to happen.
With Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys, we’re inspired by the same important vision our clients work toward: a campus culture centered on belonging in which everyone is able to thrive in a supportive and welcoming environment.
The Insight Into Academia Editorial Board is comprised of professionals from across the academic spectrum. Board members actively support the editorial mission of Insight Into Academia by sharing their ideas, experience, and passion for inclusivity as we continue to grow and expand our mission to champion the best practices of higher education excellence and belonging.
