Overview

In June 2023, the United States Supreme Court delivered pivotal rulings on affirmative action, reshaping the terrain for admissions policies and practices in all institutions of higher education, including graduate education. As colleges and universities grapple with this shifting legal landscape, there's a pressing need to explore innovative approaches to selection processes and practices that uphold diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion principles to allow graduate institutions to benefit from the nation’s full range of talent and foster creativity and innovation in science.

During this webinar, experts in graduate education and systemic-change management will discuss evidence-based practices and case studies of successful holistic admissions programs. The webinar will provide faculty, admission officers, and other higher education professionals with a roadmap for implementing mission-driven systemic change in graduate admissions.

This webinar is closely related to a webinar the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) hosted in 2023, “Creating Equitable and Inclusive Graduate Programs: From Recruitment to Admission to Retention.”
