Since the United States Supreme Court struck down the use of race-conscious college admissions policies earlier this summer, a number of groups have raised concern over access and diversity at higher education institutions moving forward. At an event hosted by the Center for American Progress, a top Department of Education (ED) official gave perspective on the recent decision, saying it was an opportunity for higher education to reconsider how it supports a diverse student population. 

Each year, NASFAA presents awards to deserving members of the financial aid profession and higher education community. Let's take a moment to congratulate the winners of the 2023 Meritorious Achievement Award, which is given to an individual who has made an important contribution to the Association or to the profession. Congratulations to Youlonda Copeland-Morgan, vice provost of enrollment management (Retired) at the University of California, Los Angeles and Pat Peppin, student services director at Mesa Community College in Arizona. Take a look back at past recipients of the Meritorious Achievement Award, and see all of the 2023 award recipients.
