Ad Hoc Committee to Identify DEI Hiring Best Practices in College Admission Counseling Professional Settings

Efforts to document established and promising practices within college admission and school counseling/college advising professional settings are relatively sparse.

This committee is charged with:

  1. Documenting DEI hiring best practices;
  2. Building a foundation of research, best practices, and existing standards upon which NACAC can build a body of knowledge and/or toolkit for the future;
  3. Providing recommendations to NACAC and its member institutions for adoption of DEI hiring best practices.
