President-Chancellor Belton among top 50 national higher ed leaders

Southern University System President-Chancellor Ray L. Belton was recently recognized as one of the Top 50 Leaders in Higher Education by the National Diversity Council during its 17th Annual National Diversity and Leadership Conference. The virtual conference held in late April honored a number of diverse talents from different industries with this year’s theme, “Be a Changemaker.”

According to the Council, “The Top 50 Leaders in Higher Education are innovators, strategists, and pioneers in this dynamic sector of local and global education. Educators are pivotal for the growth and development of individuals and subsequently, the organizations for which their students work. Educators’ long term contributions have significantly and uniquely impacted the greater community. The National Diversity and Leadership Conference recognizes individuals who contribute to the growth of their students, organization, community, and are active in mentoring the next generation of professionals in the education sector.”
