The New Era of Race-Conscious Admissions
Earlier this year, the United States Supreme Court decided hotly-contested litigation on the constitutionality of the use of Affirmative Action in higher education admissions. This decision will change the landscape but not the opportunity for students of color if they understand the ramifications and how to navigate the new reality.
Our panel will discuss how the recent decision will impact race and diversity issues in the higher education admission applications and provide valuable and practical guidance for how students should approach the application process to make the best case they can for admission to higher education institutions.
