Workshop #1
Fundamentals of Equity in Graduate Education
November 28
11am-1pm PST on Zoom
This is a two-part workshop on diversity and equity practices in graduate admissions. This session presents data and research about the role of typical admissions criteria and practices in influencing inequities in graduate education. Considerations associated with the current movement for racial justice will also be addressed. Practical strategies for rethinking typical admissions criteria and processes are introduced, with a focus on equity-based holistic review and embedding attention to equity throughout the admissions and recruitment process. Participants will learn how common admissions mindsets and practices tend to inhibit access for underrepresented groups, and they will be introduced to strategies to improve diversity and equity through holistic review process.
Workshop #2
Strategies for Equity-based Holistic Review
December 5
11 am-1pm PST on Zoom
Building upon prerequisite knowledge from the Fundamentals workshop this session on strategies and practices is a hands-on workshop for all faculty and staff who participate in graduate student admissions.
Participants will articulate and assess their current admissions practices, learn how to develop an evaluation rubric, and engage in discussions that will help them anticipate common challenges that may arise in shifting admissions practices.
