Meeting the Moment Webinar Series:
College Admission Counseling’s Expansion of Strategies to Sustain DEI Goals
Meeting the Moment is a four-part webinar series meant to demonstrate new approaches to cultivating diversity and equity in the college admission process. The webinar topics are designed to enhance conversations among college admission counseling professionals as they prepare for a possible adverse ruling from the Supreme Court in the SFFA v. Harvard / UNC race-conscious admission cases. This webinar series is designed to share research-informed, promising practices from institutions and schools, including a focus on states currently practicing “race-neutral” admissions. A curricular guide will be provided, including segments from The Playbook (2d ed.); relevant amicus briefs filed before the U.S. Supreme Court (filed by the University of Michigan and UC System Leaders); and published research reports (to be named).
The Supreme Court and Race-Conscious Admission
NACAC is developing resources to assist colleges and high schools adapt as necessary to the decision when it is issued, building on collaborative work with the Access and Diversity Collaborative and including future NACAC education and training content.
