This open session provides faculty, administrators, graduate students, and others with an overview of current research and promising practices related to increasing equity and diversity in graduate education. Participants will learn how common admissions mindsets & practices inhibit access for underrepresented groups (especially people of color and women), and they will leave with practical steps to take toward reforming admissions and recruitment in their departments. Topics to be covered include current legal issues in admissions, the potential and limits of holistic review, assessment of non-cognitive factors in admissions, and the role of the GRE.
